 Web Waste
picture Web Waste is the Internet Rubbish Dump. Instead of just emptying your trash or recycle bin, you run a little application which uploads it to this site. And then people can see a nice Flash animation of all the pictures, videos, sounds and pieces of text that people have thrown away. So, nothing goes to waste.

 BoringBoring
picture If you think that BoingBoing might be a little too interesting, you can now switch over to BoringBoring, a directory of dull things. And it doesn't disappoint. It highlights dull products such as plain white t-shirts and flat surfaces to put things on. And uninspired suggestions like taking your knitting needles on a plane, and constructing two-dimensional surfaces from yarn.

 Google Gulp Beta
picture Google announces the introduction of Google Gulp (beta), a drink that will make you smart enough to actually understand your search results.
Think a DNA scanner embedded in the lip of your bottle reading all 3 gigabytes of your base pair genetic data in a fraction of a second, fine-tuning your individual hormonal cocktail in real time using our patented Auto-Drinkā„¢ technology, and slamming a truckload of electrolytic neurotransmitter smart-drug stimulants past the blood-brain barrier to achieve maximum optimization of your soon-to-be-grateful cerebral cortex. Plus, it's low in carbs! And with flavors ranging from Beta Carroty to Glutamate Grape, you'll never run out of ways to quench your thirst for knowledge.
Gee, they seem to be everywhere, those Google guys.
