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.

A very interesting idea implmented as a FireFox plugin. It's a platform for being able to create views of a web page (shifts) for communication and collaboration about the content, adding to it or slicing and reorganizing it. There's also a facility for linking the page, shift or parts of a shift with other pages, shifts or parts of shifts to create a navigational trail, a different way to find information. Could be used as a tool for the semantic web, or as a platform to build other ways to communicate on top of the web as it exists today. Interesting offering!!

A wiki for educators on how to use social media as part of their curriculum. Nice set of links to tutorials for some of the useful tools like Del.icio.us, Diigo, Flickr, and Google Apps. Also something good to send to people who might not be clued in yet on what you can do collaboratively on the web.

From experience I can agree that geeks make great boyfriends. It's nice to be valued for who you are instead of what you look like.

A free service that lets you catalog books you have read or want to read and participate in a social network with other readers. Unlike LibraryThing there's not a limit on how many books you can list, but there doesn't seem to be as many social features to find people with similar interests automatically.

A tool that looks at your current friends list and builds a list of recommendations for other people for you to follow. Not sure what algorithm it uses but it picked some good ones for me (people I was already following on FriendFeed).
