Its great, they did it, its out there and its different. If everyone did not reinvent the wheel, we would all be using Yahoo Old search to search the web instead of Google. The "Re-invent the wheel" phrase applies to some cases, not all cases. Most cases I believe is an excuse for laziness

@muendo yeah neat idea, 

@mugo just shows tht U dont need to go learning a framework (Kohana) to get ur idea out I like Ushahidi but lets be frank here how many people out there are able to tweak it to suit their needs? and theres no reinventing here google apps are doing most of the work the rest is just cleaver use of code. Plus this proves tht theres always more than one way to kill a cat.
