As if my internet addiction wasn't bad enough, I have now been introduced to programmableweb.com where I can find hundreds of useful sight I did not even know about. In this brief, in-class search I found 3 that were practical for my daily life or explored points of interest in my life.
www.doctorwholoactions.org.uk brings out the inner nerd in me. A weekly ritual of me and my roommates, Dr. Who is one of several shows we religiously watch on the BBC and Sci Fi channel (along with other tacky soap operas) and this sight will prove to be very novel and fun as I plan my trip to London in a few months. I can use the Google Map application on there website and find out exactly where one of my favorite episodes was filmed, and possibly visit there.
But because I am a poor college student going to London, I will also find londonforfree.net very useful. Using Google Maps to provide comprehensive walking tours with specific themes, hopefully I can experience all the history, etc. of the city without paying for it.
But outside of using these mashups for travel, I can use sites like www.broadway2day.com for my everyday passion (and Job) by using Google Maps to display the precise locations of theatres in New York, what show is playing there, tickets and other important information.
