Melanie Coles has painted a 55' Waldo on a rooftop in Canada somewhere for people to find on Google Earth according to Daily Mail.
But competition is likely to be tough. Not only will Wally hunters have to locate his rooftop perch, but they will also have to wait for Google's imaging equipment to pick it up.
Although Google Earth pictures can be up to three years old, the company does not reveal when it plans to update its images.
But, as Miss Coles, 22, insists that's all part of the fun.
She said: 'The goal of the game is to get excited. It's like this huge shift. Radio is going to the Web. Television is going to the Web. And now Waldo is going to the Web, which is pretty fitting right now.
This is what I'm surrendering to the Google god.'
Miss Coles, an art student who has publicised her project on the blog whereonearthiswaldo.com, is now encouraging others to follow her lead and create a series of Google Wallys across the world.
'I think that it's within the spirit of the state of the Web now. Everything is a free-for-all, and I think the more Waldos, the better,' she said.
How brilliant of idea is that? I am surprised someone did not think of it earlier! OK, I am off to find Waldo on Google Earth!
Hasbro sent Facebook a cease and desist letter saying that Scrabulous is a breach of copyright and that Facebook could face legal action over my favorite game according to AAP.
The Scrabulous game, which was developed by Indian brothers Rajat Agarwalla and Jayant Agarwalla, has become a big money earner for the pair.
It has been claimed that the brothers are receiving $US25,000 ($A27,853) per month in advertising revenue from Facebook.
According to Fortune magazine, Hasbro sent a cease-and-desist notice to Facebook asking them to remove the application.
Please Hasbro don't kill my guilty pleasure and the addiction of at least 500,000 people a day. I love when you put a bunch of letters together and they create a 40 point word and you are like that is a word! And with my spelling, I am happy anything is a word! Plus I have made friends all over the world playing this game. On that not time to start a new game with one of them.

Yeah, it is two days after Christmas, but like Erin Murphy I am in LA and it doesn’t snow here. I so miss snow and that instant snow is way too cool not to have. Whether you live in LA or Toronto, it is dog pee-free snow and not cold enough to melt…but sadly not hard enough to throw an ice ball at someone or sleigh down a hill with. But either way it is still freaking cool!!!
Sprint PCS dropped over 1,200 customers for over calling their customer service department according to News4Jax. Sprint is not cutting off the people that call 1 or 2 times a month, but the 1,200 people who called over 40 – 50 times a month. Sprint feels these people are not happy, so why not just get rid of them. They said, "Rather than continue to operate in a situation that was unsatisfactory for Sprint and our subscribers, we chose to terminate our relationship with those customers to allow them to pursue other options." Those people that were dropped were sent a letter last month letting them know. My question is, if you drop people like that aren't they going to call and complain even more that they were dropped?
And BTW good for Sprint for doing that! Those people need to get lives and stop their complaining so much. Now I have to go call my cable company for the 50th time to find out when they are going to fix my cable.
