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.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.
