Here's a pretty cool mash-up that takes user-submitted photos to Panoramio and places them onto a Google Map to identify tourist hot-spots worldwide.
I suspect there's probably also an Internet site dedicated to teaching people how to make lists of other sites as a way to generate Google AdSense revenue.
Stupid YouTube blocked the audio on this stupid video because I used a stupid Oasis song as the backing track. So there was a bit of a delay (which you might not even notice since I'm backdating this post to May 19 when the video was supposed to go up, dagnabit!) so I could get […]
