Gmail "plus-addressing"
Here is an very useful usage of a feature offered by Google Email called plus-addressing -- basically add email extension with a "+" sign as follows:
pinkyrocks+freestuff@gmail.com for freestuff.com
Some email clients wont let you login with your real address and you have to replace the @ with a + and it works,
"pinkyrocks+work@gmail.com = pinkyrocks@work@gmail.com" to gmail
Extension to this is to have filters for each of the lables you set up with this "plus-addressing" feature -- Use Gmail Generate Unlimited E-mail Addresses ( via Modern Day Alchemist)

Shakira @ VMA '06 -- Indian Connection
Shakira's performance of Hips Don't Lie at recent MTV Video Music Awards incorporated classical indian dance moves - mudras.
Performance was choreographed in part by Bollywood choreographer, Farah Khan. While the hip and chest isolations are trademark Shakira, they were incorporated into the bollywood-styled choreography.

Bionic Image Labling from Google
Google Image Labeler uses a ESP game that makes this otherwise enormous task an interesting and much quicker and more importantly combines machine and human intelligence.
Basically, you will be paired with an anonymous partner and guess label for random images and you score when there is a label match (you won't know who the partner is and what s/he has guessed.
If you have already played the 'game', here is a bit from the presentation that was funny - 2 people had a match when shown the image of G.Bush and guess what they both had a match -- "YUCK" ;-)
Within one year, google will be sending out checks to the top 1,000 or so players.
Here is an interesting presentation for 'Human Computation'
