Google Cool
Google extends its grip on being a cool compant with Google Earth, a 3-d perspective on cities and locations across the globe. But as well as showing you the stuff, you can annotate it, or hack it to combine wth other servies to see where the buses are in Colorado, or get to some finky club or resturant. How neat is that? This essentially puts social tagging, as seen in Fickr and citeulike and other such sites out into the real world as well, allowing users to annotate the word to reflect what they think is important. It'll be interesting to see where this goes and where it ends up.
