The winner in Miscellaneous category — Lunar Real Estate Finder, submitted by Chris Pendleton, Microsoft

Brief Description: Are you wondering where the Moon land lot you purchased via spam is located? Type in an Earth address and see where it would be plotted if it were on the moon. This is a fun web application to "compliment" those companies selling property on the moon. If they ever find water up there I could change this from the miscellaneous category to the government or business category!
