Robots & Empire has just launched a custom google search.
Much like Blackle, this bad boy is black, and does all the Google can do.
The catch?
All revenue generated from search queries will be used to launch a microlending fund for third world nations.
Other individual investors have pledged to match any accrued revenue with dollars [...]

“The 21 Steps” is a spy novel written by Charles Cumming that takes place (literally) on a Google Map.

The We Tell Stories project is staying busy releasing all sorts of crazy shit like this.
For instance, a narrative from a fictional character taking place over blogs and Twitter.

I went to www.google.come/trends to see if anyone cares that Hillary Clinton released 11,000 pages of her schedule while commanding the office of First Lady. No one cares! LOL but guess that is the number 18 top search of the day so far?…….

Yahoo will [...]
