Great stuff from Israel. It’s really interesting to think about how our behaviour in the web differs from our behaviour in real life…

Of course it’s free…it’s the internet!

“Flash Earth is an experimental application that uses satellite and aerial imagery from online mapping websites without official consent.”

You can choose between Google Maps, Microsoft VE, Yahoo! Maps, Ask.com, OpenLayers and NASA terra. Cool stuff, and you can also link to a certain location, e.g., the University of Kaiserslautern.

Via information aesthetics I read about the One Million Masterpiece today, a very nice idea:

Well, I DON’T have artistic ability, and of course I want to support international charity work. So I contributed this masterpiece - please note that it’s NOT a self portrait
