funnydomainnames

networking site.

Resnet, a place where he, Hong, and
Lindsay work, and where those of you all who live in the dorms can get help
when you need it.

February, probably because both designers had the same ideas and both sites
have useful features.
- 28 February 2007 - despite the fact that she had showed us something
earlier, I "volunteered" Lindsay Grove to show us
Musicovery, a really interesting
way to link together music into listening threads. There seems to be a lot to
discover about this site and their methodology.

about Google's "plans".

iTarheel, a site whose original concept
came from a student project
- 12 February 2007 - Ben Grafchik showed us

a site that offers
inspiration, of a sort.

the
ones from Baltimore.
- 24 January 2007 - Hong Fan introduced us to
20Q, "the neural net on the Internet."
