Nothing world changing, but the pastebin I wrote recently, I find it pretty handy for sharing js snippets http://paste.arandomurl.com/ it shows the page rendered above in a frame below, you can test snippets of javascript / css in it, processing js works as well http://paste.arandomurl.com/4826dda37f28b

I once did the same for ActionScript. And of course this stuff works best for visually-oriented languages, like CFDG: http://korsh.com/cfdg/

Not that it was built to change the world, but I've personally been very happy with http://www.iheartquotes.com/ It was a two day project to bring the Unix fortune program to the web. You can browse online but I've gotten more use out of the API which I turned into a Twitter bot and include in my .bash_profiles. The Paul Graham tag: http://www.iheartquotes.com/tags/paul_graham On Twitter http://www.twitter.com/iheart…

This site makes me happy too! Thanks for sharing :-)

Perhaps not quite grandiose or revolutionary enough to meet the description at the top of this page, but here's my dead-in-the-water project:

http://ploya.com

It's supposed to be a community for finding out about and then getting into interesting internships or graduate jobs. It seemed to catch on a bit for a couple of positions, but has declined since then.

My own interest in the site dropped significantly once I got my final internship and graduate job, and I guess this generalises to most potential users.

http://www.flugpo.com We have this Social Classifieds Network that is trying to inject more trust in to online classifieds but it's hard to get above the noise of craigslist and kijiji. Not a failure yet but not a success either.

The world needs an antisocial network, where each user is explicitly supposed to swindle others.

http://tagger.flaptor.com - automatically suggests tags for blog posts or articles. It's still mostly a demo, we are improving it very slowly because most of our resources are going into other projects.

anyway, http://zemanta.com is doing a good job in this area...
