Hotties Promoted With Google Maps

925M points to a little project by San Francisco-based software firm Frozen Bear which has combined the recent Google mapping capabilities with the find-a-hottie site Hot or Not. Just imagine if an enterprising marketer or brand fan put this sort of thing to good use. For example, a national map of Verizon wireless towers which actually showed where the towers where rather than where those fact marketing maps show them to be. Or an outdoor company like Clear Channel using it to allow outdoor board buyers to drill down to exact board locations. Oh well. For now, finding hotties appears to be a lot more fun.

Nobody talks about why so many people over 60 describe feeling invisible – it’s not metaphorical, it’s literal: servers look past you, store clerks talk over you, family members plan things without asking you, and slowly you realize that being older means being optional

Research suggests that people who become calmer as life gets more chaotic didn’t learn that from self-help books. They usually learned it from surviving situations where panic was a luxury they couldn’t afford, and that composure became permanent.
