Googlefasting: Day 5
Continued from Day 1, Day 1.5, Day 2, Day 3, Day 4… Needed to lookup location for tonight's Ask party. Decided to ask Ask's new Local service. Everything was all well and good until I got to the mapping page, which choked in IE7. Had to flip back to Yahoo! Maps, which also choked when [...]

I'd point you to where you can get [...]
