Google Maps Meets Craigslist by Josh Spear
In my mind this little utility is simply just a genius mix. The cross pollination of two of the best resources available on the internet-- Google's new mapping service, and the classified listings page, Craigslist. This utility lets you surf both at once-- you can select city, price range, and drag along a map while seeing icons representing apartments for rent or sale. It shows you which listings have pictures, and which don't--and even gives little thumbnails of the property. Make sure to use Firefox if you're on a Mac, Safari is a little weird with it.

Google Moon
To Honor the 36th anniversary of the first manned moon landing Google has given us Google Moon. Using the Google Maps interface you can pan and zoom across the moon's surface and view the locations of each Apollo landing. Zoom in all the way for a silly little surprise! Thanks, JGG!...

Epic 2014
Robin Sloan and Matt Thompson have put together a pretty interesting vision of the media circa 2014. Basically they see all media becoming totally personalized and decentralized, driven by individual personalities and intelligent filtration systems. And of course, it's all enabled by Google and Amazon. They may take it to a bit of an extreme, but they certainly summarize a direction many of us...

ThisNext: ThisWorld Map
A fun new ThisNext feature, ThisWorld uses Google Maps to create a live update of who's checking out what online worldwide. It's strangely entertaining to just sit back and watch products pop up—from an Irving, TX user looking at Puma's new Urban Mobility collection to someone in Spain checking out a gun-shaped hair dryer—like you're spying on the world. Geographical trends quickly become apparent...

Scroogle Search Engine
Did you know that every Google search you make is recorded and archived by the company? Privacy-minded folks point out that as Google has become part of our everyday lives, our tastes and preferences on the net give away a lot more than we'd normally share with a stranger, let alone a corporation with nearly 14,000 employees worldwide. While Google keeps your search terms...
