Google Images Germany
I took nearly a year. In Juny 2010 Google has relaunched it’s images search. As usual Google rolled out this new layout step by step all over the world. But not in Germany.

Twitter spam-girl
Twitter spam sucks. Unbelievable how clumbsy it is. When I open twitter in the morning I feel happy about 30 new follower. Not only today but nearly everyday.
