New Seven Wonders Of The World Google/YouTube Mashup
The new Seven Wonders Of The World were just announced in an official ceremony last week, but the Google mashups have begun!

You can explore all the wonders without hopping on a plane (although I suggest you do that too!) by watching the videos accompanying each site.
