Starbucks Delocator

This nifty site, the Delocator helps you find independent coffee shops and cafe with a zip code search. I was ready to submit the Coffee Hound, but someone beat me to it.  More than a coffee house finder, the "Delocator is a web-verb created for this project as a defense mechanism for independent business establishments."  The creators hope that this coffee-specific delocator is the start of a web-meme.

On the delocator.net web site, users are able to download the code necessary to establish a new database, prompting more sites and databases that may focus on other specific retail stores (fast-food, hardware, clothing, etc.).

(Found at Branko's Weblog.)

UPDATE: Juniorette showed me this related flash film, Coffeehouse Propaganda after reading this post.

I love this. There is a Starbucks about 1/4 of a mile from my library, but I'll be damned if I'll patronize a place that trademarked the Italian word for 20. I also hate places that pretend that 3 sizes are not small, medium and large. Tall, Venti and Grande my arse.
