The Pamphleteer

During colonial times in America, if you wanted to convince or inform people about some issue that you considered important, you went to the local printer and got some pamphlets printed. You then handed them out, read them to anybody that was interested, nailed them to the town bulletin board, or the nearest tree. The first amendment was specifically written to protect this type of activity and the writers or "pamphleteers".

Google Maps

Maps are great for getting around, but online maps could be a lot better. So
Google decided to make dynamic, interactive maps that are draggable - no
clicking and waiting for graphics to reload each time you want to view the
adjacent parts of a map. Want to be able to type in the name of a region or
neighborhood and see any part of it as easily as with a regular street map? Now
you can with Google Maps. Since these maps are draggable, you can use your mouse
or the directional arrows to pan left, right, up and down to see areas that are
hidden offscreen. You can also use the slider to zoom in and zoom out.
