Termbin.com
Ever needed to share text from your terminal?
Termbin to the rescue!
Just redirect your output to "nc termbin.com 9999"
for example:
$ echo "Testing termbin!" | nc termbin.com 9999
This will give you a nice URL you can use to share with your
friends. Be wary though; make sure you never push keys or passwords.

OpenStreetMap in your terminal
Ever been to lazy to open a browser to check a map?
Who am I kidding, of course you have!
Well, worry no more.
$ telnet mapscii\.me
Use arrow keys to move around, and A/Z to zoom.
Or use the mouse if you want to be fancy
