WiFi Google Map mash-ups
Need a WiFi hot-spot near you? Who doesn't, but some are easier to find than others. That's why a social WiFi hot-spot finder, where you can add hot-spots in your own city is useful like the one setup at earthcode. This particular one is nice because it mashes-up with Google maps. Many cities are represented, and many hot-spots have already been added, but you can quickly add your own hot-spots for everyone else to find. I plan to use this tool for all the hot-spots where I live, there are a lot of them to catalog, at least in my neighborhood. Run over to earthcode and add some cafes if you have a few minutes and nothing better to do.
So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.
Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place.

Another narrow view of the US... Wy call it earthcode and only list the US? Microsoft already has a wififinder and it is really global.
Thanks Andre Lewis!

I actually use http://www.anchorfree.com I find that it is easier to browse and has better loading times.

I think Andre's wifi site is much easier to use (and add free...for now at least) than any other I have found. Also, it recently received it's own domain of http://hotspotr.com/. I couldn't find the Microsoft one and the anchorfree one had way to many ads (and too long to get useful info) for my taste. Recently hotspotr added mobile access and I would be surprised if it doesn't go global soon.
Keep up the great work Andre!
