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.
With Halloween fast approaching, it's a great time to get in some practice defending your territory against zombies. In Graveyard Shift, you take aim at zombies and other creepy-crawlies, blasting them into splatters of cartoony green guts. It's a casual first-person shooter, and it's very easy to get the hang of - use the mouse to aim, click to fire.

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!
