Center of gravity calculator for Google Earth
Have you ever argued with your family over where best to have your reunion?
Now you resolve it the scientifically accurate (and geeky) way with the Google Earth Center of Gravity Calculator. It's a
web service to which you upload a Google Earth .kml file describing all of your family members' locations and get back
their center of gravity, i.e. the place most central to everybody. Of course, you can use it for things other than
family reunions--the project was actually inspired by Cory Arcangel, who found the center of gravity of Manhattan's
dozens of Starbucks.[Via kottke.org]

Tried it and got plenty of great error messages and still no meeting place for me and my drinking buddies :(
Seems like a great idea, just wish it would work!
