#113bitpal.com - bitpal is a cross platform personal information manager designed to live on a thumb drive. It manages your contacts todos and calendar that sycs between two or more copies (think home and work)of outlook and even betwen outlook and mac (iCal and address book).
Never could get the flash drive companies to figure out their biz models. Its a great little tool. www.bitpal.com

#114Just launched, so not dead yet. Got 100 or so registrations, but no one seems to want to post anything. "Can't find anything that's cool" is the excuse. Anyway, the site is a unique way to list and vote on any item you think is cool.
http://thatscool.org I'll send you an invite, pronto. Add something, anything!!

To be fair, it was built in 24 hours for a programming contest two years ago, and hasn't been touched since.

We should start a movement for watrcooler. Love the design, especially the keyboard nav
Well, I'm certainly interested in spreading it, I just don't have any great ideas for how to do so. At one point I had it so you could email the links off the site to other people, but it wasn't used much so I dropped it in favor of dropping clutter.
OK, I brought it to the front page of proggit: http://reddit.com/r/programming/info/6j9dt/comments/ (might fall away soon)

Thanks. I saw your comment on not liking the stories :)
Do you think you would use a tech subwatrcoolr? If so, what "most emailed" equiv. feeds do you think there are in tech. I can think of programming.reddit.com, equivalent digg section, news.yc, yahoo most emailed tech.

I quickly threw this site together for myself because I wanted a way to compare real estate that I was thinking about purchasing. It's nothing earth shattering but I found it useful in helping me organize my research when I was looking to buy a house.
I have some more ideas that will make it more useful - I've just never implemented them because I ended up buying a house! Do you think others would find this site useful?

#119http://esposure.com recently launched. It hasn't quite failed, but nobody visits really. It's a place where you can post screencasts/demos of whatever it is you or your Web app does.

#120http://watrcoolr.us Never "launched" it, but I still think it deserves popularity :). It's a browser start page that I made for myself (and use) that displays the top stories for a set of most-emailed-like feeds. The feeds have been tweaked over time to yield the most interesting stories at any given time. After all, they were the most emailed ones... It's not really for news junkies or the news.yc crowd in particula…
Totally agree with other posters. This is a neat interface - I like how it completely takes away the clutter, allowing you to focus on the current story.
User configurable, perhaps? No-cycling, custom feed selections, etc.
Personally, I would like longer excerpts...two to four line excerpts just don't cut it for me. However, I presume that's a function of the provider's feed settings. Also, some of the feeds are just...meh. I don't care for Abby, Drudge, etc.
Question, why load a new page for each story?
