Reconstruction Sites

YouTomb is a very cool, even valuable, web project devised by 'MIT Free Culture' that tracks videos taken down by YouTube for alleged copyright violation.

You can check out which videos were taken down, how long they were up for, and who's complaint caused the removal. It's a nice to have a watchdog for a site that is so insanely popular, and that since it was bought by Google in 2006 has been increasingly zealous about removing/censoring videos.

Also, check out the blog Overheard Lines, where things people actually have said (mostly in San Francisco) get posted to hilarious effect. Something I overheard was actually posted on May 22.
