London Land Grab
It's not often you find anything of interest in The Independent's internet coverage (today's feature was the typically challenging - 'Why are sites so poor?'), but their round-up of googlemaps included this fundraising site from Capital Radio.

London Land Grab encourages site visitors to buy London landmarks ranging from shops and pubs for a fiver to parks and stadia for £50 a go. It's a great, simple idea and clicking round on the map shows that plenty of people have bought their spot.

What does your money go to?

* £5 will pay for a young carer to go the cinema/pantomime/London Aquarium etc etc
* £15 will pay for a child to have a present this Christmas
* £25 will pay for a music therapist to work with terminally-ill children in hospital
* £30 will pay for 200 young victim of crime leaflets to be printed
* £50 will pay for 2 hours of sessional counselling for a child affected by bereavement
* £100 will pay for a specially-trained clown doctor to pay a visit to sick children in hospital
