Have you ever looked at someone and say to yourself, “boy, that sure does look familiar. Where did we see that before?”
The website NAVER asks exactly that, by presenting a collection of THINGS THAT LOOK LIKE OTHER THINGS.

Here at Web Watch, we’ve already covered that 99% of what people post on Twitter or on Facebook is useless, lame fluff. Sure, there are some good posts now and then that contain important information to those who follow along, but let’s face it – the general public really doesn’t have anything worthwhile to share with the rest of the world.
A sign on the wall that says “Look under your vehicle for penguins” has to have some sort of backstory that the average person just wouldn’t know about.
Of course, these are the types of signs that Web Watch finds over at ODDLY SPECIFIC, a website devoted to capturing those signs around the world that are so specific on a topic that they become funny.
Google knows a lot about you.
If you use Google to search the web, then Google knows what you are looking for.
If you use Google’s GMAIL service, then Google knows who your circle of friends and family are, and the types of things that you email about (based on the Ad Words displayed alongside your messages).
Google owns Doubleclick, a leader in online advertising, so Google knows some of the sites that you are visiting (unless you opt-out of the Doubleclick tracking cookie, of course).
If you are using their new open DNS server 8.8.8.8, then Google can even track where you go on the web, whether you use their search engine or not. (An aside: Web Watch strongly encourages that you do have a secondary DNS server available to you in case your primary DNS server goes down, whether it be Google’s DNS server or someone else’s open DNS.)
Everyone jokes about ubiquitious holiday food, from the green bean casserole to the fruitcake.
But no other holiday food has garnered as much interest as the TURDUCKEN, an epicurean concoction of a deboned chicken stuffed inside of a deboned duck, stuffed inside a turkey.
If you’re looking for some free Christmas or holiday music, you need to pay attention this month.

Growing up in the 80’s, having a Atari home video game console was as much of a status symbol as having a PS3 with the full Rock Band setup was a year ago (now, not as much since everyone seems to have it by now).
But as we’ve gotten older, we’ve lost the power cords and couldn’t find the replacement Atari 2600 joysticks that we had set aside in case of emergencies such as this.
This is why Web Watch is thrilled that Atari has taken it upon themselves to open their free online ATARI ARCADE website, featuring the best of their original games just for you.
Now that Thanksgiving is over and the shopping has begun, it’s time for us to concentrate on that next favorite holiday tradition: the SECRET SANTA GIFT EXCHANGE.
And organizing it can always be such a hassle. You have to get everyone in a room together to draw names out of a hat, and in today’s workplace environment with people working from home or in satellite offices across the country, doing the Secret Santa selections this way is just old-fashioned.
