ohMore.com - it's supposed to be a health tracker, but with a new kind of input. You write down everything in plain text and let the system behind it generate stats etc. Something like twitter, but with no followers.. Or like wolfram-alpha, but remembering the user.

Currently I'm gathering various kinds of inputs and trying to find some free time to implement first analysis (caffeine intake & spendings). I worked with bots & ai before, so hopefully I know what I'm doing :)

what do you think?

Just four days after I "soft-launched" by telling a few friends, the site wound up on TechCrunch (http://techcrunch.com/2010/09/04/stealth-mode-watch-another-...), and now I'm adding more features with the goal of creating a freemium/pro-upgrade business model.

If you can get it to deliver the stats, I like it a lot and will be happy to promote it on my health site.

Bizzybe - http://bizzybe.com/ This is my first project using Web.py. I wanted to get a feel for the framework and see how difficult it would be to build a minimalist twitter-like site. Not sure if I'm going to give it any more time.

I'm the only user so far: http://bizzybe.com/bgrohman/

Haha, my project couldn't be a better fit for your description: http://valuegrapher.com/

Looks great! I do all my timesheeting via an IRC bot - will plug this thing in and then blog about it when I get the chance :)

hey - can you say more about the IRC bot? I'm working on ohMore.com and the idea is somewhat similar, but with web/mobile interface instead of irc.

http://nextsprocket.com Pay and get paid to complete open source tasks, bugs, etc. We are having trouble figuring out why the idea is not catching on. Is it fundamentally the idea of paying for open source, the traction or other?

Fixing bugs is a much less glamourous task than implementing features, and people aren't as inclined to take on the dull and frustrating task of fixing other's mistakes.

Beyond payment, how do you build up the pride and reputation of bug-fixers? How do you make them heroes in the community? Or rather, just heroes in general?

http://nearestburrito.com - Enter your address, find a burrito

May I suggest using the W3C geolocation API to get the user's location and pre-populate that? It's Simple to get the Coordinates, and then you can probably use Google's geocode API to get the address.

I just tried to use this while traveling and I don't really know my address.
