Toothpasteworld - World's Largest Toothpaste Collection
Toothpasteworld - World's Largest Toothpaste Collection
Toothpaste World

"Don't throw out that tube of toothpaste! It could one day be worth something--or at least be a part of the largest toothpaste collection in the world. Here you will find hundreds of brands--spanning the decades--from Germany's Donald Duck toothpaste to Guatemala's fruity flavored Care Bears. Read up on the history of toothpaste or browse old ads. Did you know that before toothpaste, people cleaned their teeth with ground eggshells and the burnt hooves of animals? Or that one of the earliest known toothpaste recipes called for drachmas of rock salt, dried iris flower and 20 grains of pepper? No wonder Mona Lisa isn't smiling."

(Name Here) Is a Liar and a Cheat - New York Times
"Framed in pink, the DontDateHimGirl.com site allows a woman to post the name and photograph of a man she says has wronged her, along with a short but often pungent synopsis of how precisely she was aggrieved. The suspicious or merely curious can hunt for a cheater by typing a name into the search engine. Women can also send e-mail messages through the site if they want to ask more pointed questions about a particular cad. In a slight nod to fairness, men who disagree with the characterization can write a rebuttal to be posted alongside their names."

Information - Podbop: "Old way: Looking up concerts in your town on an event site, googling 100 different bands, tracking down an MP3 for each band, and then deciding which show you want to go to.
The Podbop way: Type in a city, get MP3s, discover a band you like, and go see them."

Zopa - The first lending and borrowing exchange
Zopa - The first lending and borrowing exchange:
This blows my mind.
"People who have spare money give it to a bank. Banks then do whatever they like with it. Some of it they lend to people who need to borrow. Some of it they give to their shareholders. Some of it they gamble on the price of tin, or the dollar going down, or whether there'll be floods in Asia. Banks make lots of money from all this, a fraction of which they give back to their customers.
Zopa though lets people who have spare money to lend it directly to people, like them, who want to borrow it. No bank in the middle, no huge overheads, no unethical investments."
