Yahoo! Picks - bringing you the best of the Web since 1995

We dig Digg as much as the next web addict, but our favorite thing to do on the link-luscious site is sneak through the doors of DiggLabs. As the site acknowledges, stuff now comes in to the user-empowered community so fast that stories often whip down the page and back into the unknown before most people catch them. The Labs attempts to address this issue by devising "a broader (and deeper) view" of all this frantic activity. And it does it in the most graphically arresting ways: Arc, the newest app, presents stories in ever-widening circles of popularity; Big Spy pops links down the page, enlarging titles as they gain votes; Swarm treats links like tadpoles under a microscope—each small circle wiggles and nudges about. Our vote for best visual feasting, though, goes to Stack, which plays like a news version of Tetris. "Diggers fall from above and stack up on popular stories." Watch out for the vertigo.

Ever thought about a career as a police sketch artist? Through the wonders of Flash, you now have a chance to live out that dream job. Come ply your artistic abilities and create composite sketches worthy of a "wanted" poster. Choose from over 60 hairstyles, 50 mouths, and 30 noses and create a realistic face. Then add accessories (moustaches, beards, and glasses) and resize facial features to make the perfect mug. When you're done, you can "save face" and let others check out your creation. With tens of thousands of faces saved, you're sure to find at least one that looks familiar.
