A dozen sites
I'm diggin'

1. Track Ike with these storm tools I created on Ning.

2. Stay on top of Ike with this site that includes radar, satellite, tracking maps, warnings and more.

3. The coolest storm tracking site I have seen in a while.

4. Love sports uniforms? This site covers athletic aesthetics -- yes uniforms and such. I tell you there is a passion group online for every interest.

5. "She's like a moose going after a cabbage." A fun piece watching the Palin speech with locals in Alaska.

6. The site watches TV and Web mentions of candidates. It also monitors Tweets and more.

7. Instead of scheduling meetings by e-mail, everybody can work out a time and date online.

8. Here are tons of GREAT tools that will help you find anything on flickr.

9. Vloggerheads fights back against YouTube chaos.

10. YouTomb is where videos go after they're booted off YouTube.

11. The evolution of voting in America is shown by interactive mapping.
