Memri.org has one of the dumbest innovations on the Web: a crawler that displays one word every ten seconds. Read it long enough and you go blind, or nuts.
I mention this because littlegreenfundraiser
introduced me to
aad-online.org, which some crackpot Canadian scribbler claims is the Memri.org of the Arab world. Just one problem: Memri.org ranks a respectable 31,405 on Alexa.com -- and aad-online.org doesn't even rank. (It's also registered as an NGO in France [peeeeeeeeee-you!] and is run out of Egypt.)
