From MetaFilter:
16730 » April 29 11:10 AM. Alexa, the internet depository that lead to things like the wayback machine was acquired by Amazon some time ago. A new service, Alexa Web Search joins the power of Alexa's archive with Amazon's proven interface and feature set with Google's killer-app level searching power. The results are fairly impressive, adding a related sites layer that may actually help folks browsing the web (as opposed to direct searching). [via anil]
TRANSLATION: Somebody has figured out a way to pour information about a site, gleaned from several different sources (using Alexa's dB), into an Amazon-style interface. I concur with one of the posters: It looks really weird. And it feels really weird, for that matter...

From Daypop: "Evil Plan Generator".
Here's what it came up with for me:
Your objective is simple: Soul Accumulation.
Your motive is a little bit more complex: Madness
Stage One
To begin your plan, you must first seduce a famous actor/actress. This will cause the world to sit up and take notice, stunned by your arrival. Who is this despoiler of all that is good and nice and true? Where did they come from? And why do they look so good in classic black?
Stage Two
Next, you will desecrate the Internet. This will cause countless hordes of cultists to flock to you, begging to do your every bidding. Your name will become synonymous with all that is wrong with the world, as lesser men whisper your name in terror.
Stage Three
Finally, you will unleash your great supernatural forces, bringing about an end to sanity. This will all be done from a Abandoned Church, an excellent choice if we might say.
These three deeds will herald the end, and the citizens of this planet will have no choice but to elect you their new god.
Trust us, it'll all come together in the end.
