#12A good long-form news service. Because I hate poorly formatted overly-long articles surrounded by awful offensive Flash ads.
Check out Readability. It discards the ads and reformats the article like a newspaper. Best of all, it's free!

#13A secure dashboard for my websites or projects where I can see data pulled from Google Analytics/Mixpanel, sales, domain expiry alerts, pingdom uptime, server load, monitoring stats etc. To quickly check all these things requires a significant chunk of time when really my intention is just to "glance" at them to make sure everything is still ticking over. Eventually I will build and self-host something like this but…
You should check out Geckoboard. It is pretty much exactly what you described. It is also free, so you can spend that $5 on an extra coffee every month :)

#14Oh, I'd LOVE IT if someone make another drop.io with the file expiry option or single file sharing --I'd totally pay 5 bucks for it!
Oh, I'd LOVE IT if someone give a localized version of twitter, and tell me what is trending, what's hot, etc. --I'd totally pay 5 bucks for it!

#19I'd pay $5/month for somewhere I could direct my cron email to which would (a) store everything for future reference, and (b) intelligently compare them from day to day and forward me the emails where something significant changed. The hard part is (b), of course -- you'd need to figure out things like "the number in the 'up X days' line changes each day, so that's not worth flagging as important".
Huh, I could make this for free as a side project. Hmmmm..
Dude just said he'd pay $5 a month for it. Where's your business sense boy?!
