But I like the feature because its based on AppEngine and XMPP, so it doesn't have any costs and will probably be available forever. (forever on the internet means sth. like 2-5 years)
I guess it'd be this entire website (visual amazon search): http://bigbooksearch.com/ Reason for failure? Google doesn't index search results...
I've got a personal todo application that's aimed for lazy people. I've seriously tried a dozen of "smart todo", and no one were good for me. The one I built is special because it is so simple, flexible, and it does more than what a paper agenda can do. I could publish it but I would need to modify lots of thing to make it intuitive for new users, write docs, and basically just to make it "public".
> I could publish it but I would need to modify lots of thing to make it intuitive for new users, write docs, and basically just to make it "public". None of those sound like prerequisites for publishing something. Is the functionality there, and is the tool modestly resistant to things like SQL injection? If so, why not put a link out there (like, say, in this thread)?
http://wunbar.com Quick and simple to make, thought I could make some money on referral fees, but went nowhere. Failure, I suppose: browsers can do the same thing, with a little setup; and, more importantly, people seem to have a preference to navigate to each of these sites and search them directly.
I built a Twitter client that filters out everything in your feed except for Tweets including urls or photos. It's pretty good way of just finding the interesting stuff in your Twitter feed. http://blurl.me

That site has a ton of potential. I'm sure with some tweaks here and there it could really take off.

I like this site. I feel that having to type in the prefixes might be a blocker for the normal crowd. Have you tried some different UIs to make picking the service happen?

I'd say it didn't take off because it requires the user to have firefox, install jetpack, use igoogle, and be annoyed by all that wasted space etc :)
I wouldn't say it failed. I use it at work and home, and I love it :)
