The Huffington Post's "Eat the Press" department has highlighted a remarkable new Google offering (which the L.A. Times covered yesterday), which uses photography to underscore the dire situation in Darfur.

Unfortunately, I cannot find the link within the Google site. Perhaps it's still in beta. If anyone can direct me to it, I'd appreciate it.
