I'm working a nights/weekend startup that positively conflicts with the subject matter: a better kiteboarding forecast service/app. http://kitecaster.com The idea is to model how kiteable a spot is based on the location, your schedule/equipment, and of course the weather. Prototype is going slow, kiteboarding gets in the way! And I am enjoying doing the full stack using the tech I want (node, Parse, etc) when I should outsource some things, but we're looking good for 2013!

#14The first startup I'm seriously trying to build: http://folkrobots.com It's only a landing page at the moment, working on finishing the MVP within this month.

It'll analyze the keywords and related keywords and check how competitive they are for you, automatically. Give me lots of feedback please. If a…
A bit like Hittail?
Actually, it turns out it's almost exactly like hittail. I guess it means there's a market for it.

#16http://offensivest.com/books/ ranks the most vulgar English books. The books are from a DVD released by Project Gutenberg. The offensiveness scores for individual words and word phrases come from votes cast by visitors to The Online Slang Dictionary (http://onlineslangdictionary.com/).
It desperately needs an "About" page describing the data and the methodology.
Later, I hope to expand the number of books we analyze and also analyze other forms of media.

#17I made AppLens (formely AppSnap) a iphone app that lets you install any other iphone app by taking a picture of its icon (on other phones or laptop screens or anything else).
It's a free app + ads, most of its users are from china and japan.
Money-wise definitely not an hit!
I spent quite a bit on time to develop the backend part (in C) and optimized it to query 3mil icons in few ms on a commodity server (cheap).
