Love this concept - "What Was There" is a free, crowd-sourced iPhone app that lets you view contextual photo overlays of the people, places and things that were once, well, wherever you happen to be standing.
The group behind the app hopes that "together we can build a history of the world". Hope they've got a lot of server space.
There's also a website where you can browse the content, though not as compelling as the mobile version.

If FORM were a person, this would be a little peek into its brain. Cool things. Random thoughts. Even the silly and stupid stuff. Only without all the icky gooey bits.
