Two dimensions are better that one...
I've for a long time made the point that we're living in a 1-dimensional world when it comes to displaying data. Newspapers and magazines displays tables, barcharts, and piecharts - but nothing more. In the back end of the Economist you might see a scatterplot, but in the WSJ, Financial Times, Washington Post, you name it, we'd never see anything more interesting than the most simple depiction of data.
So what a pleasure to see NYTimes being gutsy enough to not only try but also keep up an interactive display of the stock market. If you haven't seen already - definitly do so!
You will find it in the business section of the NYTimes

Thanks for pointing out the cool visualization tool on the NY Times. Passed it on to my friend, who in turn pointed out two more similar tools:
One for news;

And another nice one for the market;
