Create Your Own Internet Browser

You can have your very own browser without writing any code and it takes no time at all. The look and feel is entirely up to you - it can be as simple or as complex as you want.

Take a look at http://www.browserbob.com and download an example.

NB: It's not a freebie. After the thirty-day trial period, if you like it, you have to pay for it.

One of the stranger sites I've come across:

http://www.wefeelfine.org/

Seems to be collecting how people are feeling in real-time by scanning blogs on the internet. You can then combine the data and represent it in different ways (options on the bottom left), search for specific feelings, or search for feelings in different locations/weather or by age/gender/etc (options at the top).
