Those folks at Greenpeace have come up with a new ad campaign aimed at stopping whaling with a sly swipe at the Japanese for their legalization practices. Users can go to their website and make a traditional “paper” origami whale. You must sign your name for a petition (as an Australian citizen, use post code 3000) for the Prime Minister of Japan before making your whale, but after that it is all fun. You get to chose the design elements and even the sounds the whale makes, then the website folds it for you — which instantly makes this better than the origami swans we all tried to make in second grade. Consider the above whale a little gift from JoshSpear.com to all of you.

Tea is serious business here in England. Even young hip kids that you would think would be over the whole stereotype of a culture, still swear by a good cup of tea. So it should come as no surprise that tea parties have gone Web 2.0 in England. The Website makethetea.com is out to help organize teatime by ending the fuss over whose turn it is to brew the tea. The site takes into account your different tea drinking groups as well as each person's taste, then selects the brewer at random. Thus giving a system to this age old tradition. What will the Internet do next?
