Actually, Map of the Market was created by Mark Wattenberg, a brilliant visualization artist/researcher (see his personal websites here and here).
Ben Shneiderman invented treemaps, the visualization upon which Map of the Market is based.

I found Newsmap about 3 years ago. Still use it everyday. It makes CNN.com and every other news service website seem so ... slow.
I graduated from CVA in 2003. Been at Larsen Design Office ever since. I really liked the program there. They've been pumping out some of the best designers in the Twin Cities area for the past couple years.
