Let’s Trash Yahoo During Happy Hour
via TechCrunch by Michael Arrington on January 29, 2008
Yesterday I was scheduled to appear live on the Happy Hour show on the Fox Business Channel. The show is held at the Bull and Bear bar at the Waldorf Astoria hotel in New York, with customers milling around and drinking. I can’t believe no one has rushed the set as a prank yet. The topic, I thought, was our presidential endorsements of Barack Obama and John McCain.But we never actually talked...

Google China's Travel Help Map
via Google Blogoscoped by Philipp Lenssen on January 29, 2008
Parts of China are covered in above-average snow recently, making it hard for some to travel for the upcoming Chinese New Year festivities. Now Google China features a special layer at Google Maps: ditu.google.cn/chunyun (“dìtú” is Pinyin for “地图” meaning “map”). The page consists of special placemarks of weather and travel conditions. (Note Google Maps China misses the...

via Google Operating System by Ionut Alex Chitu on January 28, 2008
Tony Hirst found a simple way to place the events from a Google Calendar on a map. Assuming that the calendar is public, all you need to do is to find the XML address of the calendar, enter the address in a Yahoo Pipe that extracts the locations and generates a geoRSS feed, click on "More options" and copy the link to the KML output. You can enter the URL in a Google Maps search box and...

HubDub creates ‘fantasy league’ for news
via TechCrunch by Mike Butcher on January 27, 2008
Hubdub is a startup news forecaster that allows users to track news stories, predict their outcomes and compete with other news junkies. In theory, this predicting process turns you from being a passive news consumer into an active news participant. Think a fantasy sports league for news. Although an Edinburgh (Scotland, UK) startup, the site will be targeted at US news initially because of the...

Viewing China through PicLens
via Sinosplice: Life by John on January 27, 2008
I’m a Firefox user, and one of the greatest things about it is its extensibility. PicLens, a full-screen 3D image viewer that works especially well with Flickr, has got to be one of the best extensions I have ever seen (even if it is almost too iPhone). I never blogged about a Firefox addon before because there wasn’t really a reason to. Now I never want to go back to boring HTML views on...
