Perfect Google Adsense Placement: Never saw such a good advertisement included in the page layout

Wow, this guys created some kind of interesting layout according to Google's Adsense placement.

Here you see the webpage's picture. Can you detect the Google Adsense block?

This is a job search page. You can see a normal list of open jobs. Is it ok to place the Google Adsense block below the job entries and make it look completely the same? What a great idea. I'd like to create some other listing page and doing like a search engine. But instead of showing results, I could only show Google Adsense blocks, a good idea, isn't it?

... Google should really stop this ...

Whoozy.com – a great people search engine!

Today I found Whoozy.com - in my oppinion the best people search engine on the web.

I often check for good new sites on  ProgrammableWeb - Mashups, APIs, and the Web as Platform, so today's winner was Whoozy Person Search API Profile.

Whoozy does online searches for persons on different other people search engines. It also allows access via API. This Whozzy API uses a RESTful interface to allow an application to search for a name in social networks, search engines, blogs, news, pictures, phone numbers, email addresses and more. Responses are formatted in either XML or JSON.
