Real time distress alerts map helps keep you awake at night


RSOE HAVARIA

Ok, maybe it’s not TRUE real-time, but this RSOE HAVARIA map, plotting National Association of Radio-Distress Signaling and Info-communications (say that 3 times really quickly) distress signals will keep me up at nights for weeks to come. Whether you want to be updated in real time when there’s a breakout of the pharyngeal plague in Zambia (currently flashing red on the map!!!) or biological hazard reported in Bolivia, the RSOE HAVARIA map has it all. Who needs news alerts when you can get the news direct from the source?

Goohoo? What if Google’s start page looked Yahoo-like?


Goohoo

Being bitter rivals doesn’t mean that the two internet search and advertising giants can’t get along. Imagine a world where Google and Yahoo would collaborate on standards, designs, technology….it would be too good to be true. Google Watch’s Steven Bryant does just that by creating a mock re-design of Google’s well accepted start page, pretending that Google would portalize along the lines of Yahoo’s design standards. Attention Google, attention Yahoo, this is brilliant and I have to admit, this is the start page I’d want to have.
