Automatically detects breaking news through social media (Twitter). Breaking news, before it breaks.
We're often able to beat the mainstream media by several minutes (sometimes hours), and we're particularity good at natural disasters, bombings, explosions, shootings and celebrity deaths. There's no human in the loop, no key word lists, just real-time algorithms figuring out what was unexpected.
ClickRouter - because it allows me to use all my affiliate accounts (CJ, Skimlinks, Viglinks, shareasale, etc) at once. This has nearly doubled my affiliate revenue. At first it was an internal tool I ran for a long time, but been working to make it a service. http://clickrouter.com
Rddt.tv - http://rddt.tv Reddit.tv was an app to watch videos posted to reddit but shut down back in January. Haven't been able to find a replacement that I liked, so I built my own. Made the videos full-screen by default and added extra stuff like support for Soundcloud embeds (so you could listen to music subreddits), a directory of video-posting subreddits, multireddits, keyboard shortcuts.
UX idea: I'd make the subreddit list alphanumerical. I had to look through it a few times to find the subreddit I wanted.
Another UX idea: If a video/soundcloud fails to load, is it possible to detect that the tab isn't playing audio (say after 10-15 seconds) and skip to the next item in the list?

Interactive music discovery. Amplitude tries to get a feel for your current mood and then gives you a 30 song playlist that you can save to Spotify.
Spotify's discover weekly is great, but you only get one playlist a week. The radios are a great idea, but I found them to far to repetitive and playing very mainstream music I'v already heard. Amplitude sits somewhere in the middle.
We're making high-end fixed wing surveying drones with custom autopilot, the best RTK GPS that money can buy, an excellent camera (that we modify) and an excellent flight planning software. We're making the whole package in-house to keep the whole toolchain under our control, up until Agisoft Photoscan which we heavily script. Surveying engineers seem to love the system, and rely on it working perfectly every day!
