Google Maps: “Treasure Map” mode
They shut down Google Reader then put up a pointless map hack.  Recognize that putting this together took a bunch of people's time and energy, not to mention processing power, server load, etc.  All reasons for shutting down Reader.<p>What is the message Google is communicating to everyone?  "We're still fun, just less useful?"  Sorry if I don't have room to appreciate their "corporate whimsy" anymore.
