A database for identifying unclaimed cremated remains has been launched. (Press release.) “Forgotten Ashes contains the names of the cremated as well as possible survivors, when available, and allows for the easy sharing of that information through social networks.

WikiLeaks now has a search engine. “Just like Google, you can also refine the nature of your search for more accurate and focused results.

I love your comments, I love your site suggestions, and I love you. Feel free to comment on the blog, or @ResearchBuzz on Twitter. Thanks!
