- Snap.com is a new, weird and quite interesting search engine One of the weirder interfaces I've seen in a while - large, almost full-size screencaps, heavy on Ajax and interesting interface technologies. Pretty interesting... And the blog has nice digg-like buttons which I might have to steal...
- The Los Angeles Police Department has its own weblog Apparently seven policemen who lost their lives have a star on Hollywood Boulevard. Didn't know that. Quite interesting.
- 37signals job board seems to be ticking over quite nicely... I wonder what the quality of the candidates they get through the site is like, and whether they're a good fit to their potential new employers...
- Chris Bowley talks about opening up the BBC's data in the form of APIs through BBC Backstage I worked with Chris on the Annotatable Audio project and he's now working for the team that I used to look after. He basically pretty much rocks, so you'll all be needing to go and read his blog now...

While Snap is trick, the results are excellent. The image confirmation is a welcome break from the the text only repeats from the big players, and it looks great

If you liked Snap, you might be interested in the new Inquisitor beta. Or not.
