Fat Fingers by Josh Rubin
Fat Fingers is a website that searches online auctions for incorrect spellings . More than just internet enabled schadenfreude, discovering typos and misspellings is a way to find items with fewer or no bids. Taking advantage of other's sloppiness is as easy as typing your search into a field, which then directs you to a search of all the common mistakes on the website you've chosen from a pull-down menu. There's also an advanced search function and a downloadable widget for Ebayaholics.

Interview with Erik Madigan Heck of Nomenus Quarterly
by Laura Neilson In 2007, 23-year-old Erik Madigan Heck founded Nomenus Quarterly with the kind of arrogant fervor that only someone at that age could pull off. And perhaps it was that very same aplomb that made the multifaceted art and fashion publication so notoriously successful. Just one glance at the archives' roster of featured artists, designers and contributors, including Dries Van Noten, Helmut...

Society6

Wolfram Alpha Computational Knowledge Engine
Touted as a threat to Google's search-engine dominance, Wolfram Alpha doesn't warrant the comparison. The site is a different beast altogether, considered a "computational knowledge engine" by British founder Stephen Wolfram. It's more of an answer-engine that relies on its curated knowledge base of data, rather than rounding up websites based on keywords. Boasting north of 10 trillion pieces of data and over 50,000...
