Tracking through the internet

Someone on poor_skills mentioned www.wheresgeorge.com, which tracks dollar bills through the internet. I am also aware of Book Crossing, which is a site where people abandon books in public places and then track them through the internet as new readers pick them up. (There are several copies of The Wild Swans out there in the wild.)

Can you think of other sites that track items through the internet so that people can see where they went?

Dreamhaven needs your business

Hey, SF/Fantasy fans: Saw this in the mnsf community, posted by mightyj:

Greg Ketter of Dreamhaven Books needs our help.

From the Offical Gaiman feed:

I got an alarming email from Greg this morning...

We had a break-in on Saturday night. They got a bit of cash but wreaked terrible havoc on the store and my office. Damages will be costly but insurance should cover a lot of it. But after the lull in current business, this really will hurt. I don't like charity but if you could encourage people to maybe buy an extra book off us soon, it may help. Three bookstores have closed in the Twin Cities in the past two months and I don't want to make it four.

Greg and his wife Lisa are longstanding friends and good people, and Dreamhaven is a great store. Greg has done so much for SF/Fantasy fandom. (And even if he doesn't like receiving charity, he certainly gives it: I remember that he was kind enough to donate some books himself on behalf of Dreamhaven Books to Reach for the Stars when I asked him, to help raise money to send Delia and the rest of the kids to Space Camp.) I'll be there to shop soon, and I hope you will stop by there. And for those of you who aren't in the Twin Cities, maybe a shipping order, okay? Greg is right, independent bookstores really need our business.
