Google Trends
Google Trends was released today along with a few other new tools. Trends is a bit like Google Fight that I blogged about last year except the data is probably a little more detailed and accurate since it’s coming straight from the source. You can type in several terms and Google will show you a… Read more »
ASCII Maps
Ever wondered what a map of your neighborhood looked like in ASCII text? Well, wonder no more – ASCII Maps is now available to provide an ASCII text version of Google Maps. It isn’t very useful at all since you can’t really tell what you’re looking at. But for you die-hard text-lovin’ ASCII art fans,… Read more »

Newsvine
On March first a great little website called Newsvine opened their doors to the public. I was fortunate enough to get a beta invite to the site and have been playing with it for quite a while now. It has quickly become my news outlet of choice on the web. Now you’re probably asking yourselves,… Read more »
Sketch Swap
Make a drawing… get a drawing. This quaint little site will give you a blank canvas to leave your mark. You’ll then receive a drawing from someone else doing the same. If making a drawing isn’t you thing, give file swap a try (from the same folks as sketch swap). It’s works the same way,… Read more »
