Google's Slideshow of Interesting Things 72
Kilrah_il writes "Google's Creative Labs came out with a slideshow of interesting things on the web. In the slideshow you will find 'a lot of interesting HTML5 apps, iPhone apps, visualization tools, 3D projections, art projects, creative YouTube videos, crowdsourcing services and many other interesting things.' It's basically a collection of fascinating little projects people have made and then distributed to the internet at large. Guaranteed to ruin your productivity for today. You can view it with Google Docs."

No, I can't view it with Google Docs. Apparently it requires some plugin or a cutting edge browser (but not too far off the beaten path). What the hell is wrong with people? This is content which would work perfectly fine with completely static web pages. Massive FAIL, Google.

Oh dear we seem to have broke Google, ah well back to work then ;-)

With a list you can immediately pick out the things that seem interesting. I don't want to have to click to 120 pages to find 5 that interest me.

It worked fine for me right after Slashdot posted it.
Now when I try, Firefox wants me to download some sort of zero-byte file named "view" instead of show me a web page.
Which is cool: I didn't think it'd be possible to slashdot Google, but it seems to have happened.
Good job, folks! Keep up the good work.

This link works (for now): https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0Abmo0iWBO2gEZGY3cnc3dnpfMzM4Y3o2bmduZDY&sort=name&layout=list&num=50 [google.com]
Seems a little amateurish for an official Google presentation, though.
