What do you do when the current TV season of Lost has come to an end? Apart from cursing the makers of the series that they're beginning to overstretch your patience, of course... Right: you surf the web. And come across kinda useless, but still fun stuff like whereami.at : a Flickr, Google Maps, Google Search and hosttip.info mashup. It shows you, based on your IP-address, where you are on a Google map and you get Flickr.com pics tagged "where you're at". Even though it was not 100% correct in my case (right town, wrong street), I'd still say: nnnnnice...

I'm starting to think that Lost is an experiment to check how long people will be staying interested in a tv show. How much patience do people have...

Kirsten, you might actually be right! :-D Hadn't yet thought of it that way, but the clues in the series sure could very well point in that direction.

Long live 24! Now that is what I call a fine series. It glued me to my tv-set.
On the Big Brother stuff 'Whereamiat', the site tracked me to my local authority. Close, but no cigar.

It got me as far as my local shopping mall. Hope that doesn't say something about me!
Totally agree on the Lost front. I sat through the last 2 hours of series 2 last night knowing full well I'd be frustrated at the end - and I wasn't disappointed. Totally suckered in!

Steven: can't judge 24 because I have never really watched it. Even though I have already heard a lot of good things about it, I try not to get carried away too much about TV series because then you only end up getting glued to the tv set too much. :-)
Sam: let's all agree this shopping mall thing is not your fault. ;-)

I think you’ve made some truly interesting points. Not too many people would actually think about this the way you just did. I’m really impressed that there’s so much about this subject that’s been uncovered and you did it so well, with so much class. Good one you, man!
