"Lazyfeed's innovation makes the old-school blog directory, Technorati, look like chicken feed". - Louis Gray

The site is slated to open on Friday, but it looks like it'll be invite-only at this stage. Louis reviews it on his blog.

I wonder if Melbourne has maps like this. If yes, why haven't we seen them?

Here's a link to the post: http://greatergreaterwashington.org/post.cgi?id=2821

Houseflies, being highly edible and defenseless, are nervous types, and don't like to sit still when they see something moving nearby, because it could be a predator. The water bag acts a bit like a lens—try it some time—in which the movements of people in the area are reflected. Even if the fly is too far from the action to see it directly, it can see a shifting of light and dark in the water bag, which it interprets as nearby movement, and it will fly away from the bag.

Given that as a nation we are both accustomed to and annoyed by the pesky blowie I'm surprised that I had to read this on a US web site. Does it work?

Clever.
