An offering by HP that lets you create a scheduled bundling of RSS feeds you specify into a PDF "fit for printing". One idea - use it as a way to create a daily snapshot of your FriendFeed activity or any other site you want to capture on a regular basis.

A service that attempts to help you contact people by order of priorty of all the protocols that they prefer being contacted by in order to coordinate meetings in meatspace or just ensure that they actually recieve your message. You add contacts with their email, sms, phone and IM addresses and order them so that if the first method tried doesn't work then the next method will be and so on. You receive notification when the contact has confirmed receipt of the message. Good for time-sensitive collaboration.

A collaboration tool that on the surface seems to be very similar to Basecamp with the addition of a calendar. Something to check out the next time I need to herd some cats. It balks at FF 2.0 though... A bit early to be requiring people to upgrade, I think.

A service that is supposed to collect all your comments on the web so that you can stream them back to your blog or just keep track of them. Reminds me of Disqus and CoComment.

A site similar to Ning in that you can create customizable social networks and have a single account to use across all of them (though you can have two profiles, a professional one and a social one). Aimed more at collaboration than socialization and professional networks than social networks. Would be great if you could also keep custom fields on group members.
