I created http://onepix.me in about 3 months of 2011 I did the bulk of the coding on http://localbeer.me (find great beer, brewed locally) in 2011 I created http://imgonly.info - only the images from the Reddit home page in 2011 I also created several smaller failures, which were quite fun as well.

My plan for 2012 is to create revenue from one, or all of the above sites.

I created BugMuncher - a feedback widget that allows users to create marked-up screenshots of website errors (like on Google +) - http://bugmuncher.com

Looks great, I might actually use this today. Also, nice theme... i'm using the exact same one for one of my projects.

Two that I like the most (although not exactly side projects): http://getlocalne.ws (Global News Aggregator) and http://www.RapiDefs.com (Web 2.0 English Dictionary)

Wow, I live in a small town in Canada and it had a news feed. Nice. You might want to think about geolocating the user by IP address, and displaying their local news without having to select a city.

Oh I created Am I Beautiful too. Another iphone app just to help those women/girls who think they are not good at all and perform bad in their lives just because they think no one love them.

https://qrustom.com was a big project for me, https://gitorious.org/stattr was another, and http://test.mine.bz was something I contributed to. I also did https://gitorious.org/mmake , though I don't feel like I really finished it.

I also did a really stupid javascript library: https://gist.github.com/1138419

Hopefully 2012 will be even better!

Thanks! Hope you like it, and please let me know if you have any suggestions as I'm putting a lot more time into it this year.

You wouldn't believe how many sites I've seen using that theme, unfortunately it's arguably the best SaaS theme on themeforest, one of my goals this year is to get a new site deign.

I created http://dudmail.com - a disposable email site that allows you to automatically forward emails, and permits attachments.

It's not been as much of a success as I was hoping (currently 1200 registered users, with quite a large number more of unregistered users), but it was a project that I started and finished =)
