O-Matic

You know ... "O-Matic" is the kind of phrase I thought would go the way of the Edsel: good try, spin again, better things are coming. Sadly, I am wrong. Here are two examples I've run across recently, each notbale in its own circles.

The Washington Post's "Veep-O-Matic 2004"
Select some criteria, [poof], and out comes your vice presidential candidate. Of course, Bob Shrum isn't using it.

Score-O-Matic
A web-based live scoring system for ultimate tournaments and, to a much lesser extent I'm sure, soccer tournaments. It's pretty cool -- you can call in with a cell phone and update the scores in real time. You can add audio commentary (with your celly) and even photos.
