I'm in the preliminary research stages of building a series of stock tools that allow users to do arbitrary searches on the intarwebs and then correlate the data with historical price data on equities. I registered tinystocktools.com but nothing is up there yet as I'm just tinkering with what sort of free API's I have available to me at the moment before I start seriously building it.

There will be social aspects to it but I'm so tired of "social" being the main focus so it's definitely going to be more of a research/monitoring tool that begrudgingly lets you tap into your FB and twitter networks as part of it.

There will be a consumer-facing interface but I'd also like to create a nice streamlined API so people can leverage my platform as well.

Trying to figure out if a metagame is more important or transparency to increase competition and sharing.

Also trying to find vendors to sign up and create triviatisements (have 5 in the works).

Also adding stats for admins so we can see what people are actually doing

I'm working on a literature community, I have an alpha copy deployed at http://beta.singleforest.com/ Not sure if I'm going to bother trying to make money off it. (It doesn't have ssl yet, so careful with your passwords)

Visual CSS Animation Design Web App, with pre-launch access to my development prototype. It's going to be the best way to build CSS animated websites! No more building keyframes by hand in a text editor, and no more web layout and design using desktop photo manipulation applications. Design and animate directly in the browser*

*requires CSS3 Animation support, for now...

We're building a new music discovery/sharing service for iOS and web (eventually Android too :). Features new songs in an HN-style ranking for each genre, with recommendations based on your saved favorites, and the ability to browse/share favorites between friends.

Our basic website is up, but we're still a couple months from launch and working with artists and labels now to get some initial content in place.

Putting the real Multiple Listing Service back in the hands (literally) of real estate professionals and combining it with tools that helps them make sense of the real estate market. It's part listing syndication, analytics and social networking.

It's all politics and people desperate to keep their cushy desk jobs. If you're already coding, I'd recommend getting out there now to find your hurdles, because there will be A LOT of them.
