Todoist - how many to-do services can there be

iReader - via a browser extension browse the content of a link before choosing to clicking it…I wish Snap Preview had this option.
Snap Preview has an icon option, to get a thumbnail just hover over the icon next to the link…problem is that this doesn’t limit to links just within blog posts, blog sidebars are littered with these icons, wherever there is a link there is an icon. How do we get Snap Preview to avoid the sidebar links.

cl1p - copy and pasting content to a web clipboard…new feature is instant message board. Now they need instant chat room like Conversate or what ChatCreator once was (not it is a blog chat widget).

workhack - the most easy to-do list ever, no sign up just start. Items are big and chucky, for each item mark high, mediuim or low, and click done when completed, also see list with done items included. Dar and drop, and bookmark your to-do list in your favourites and try the mini version. Feeds are included. I wish I could re-edit items and change urgency.

DoodleBoard - collaborative drawing with chat.

LinkedWords - similar idea to Technorati Tags, only Linked Words is not a flat based index but more taxonomy based. If you want you blog post to appear under a keyword page at LinkedWords just look for the page and include your post, or create a new keyword page if it doesn’t exist (BTW, it doesn’t have to be keyword pages, create phrase or even sentence pages). I’d rather bookmark my posts at del.icio.us or Technorati Tags or submit them to Digg (not that I do this), as these sites are popular.
One thing I do like is that for every keyword they offer more discovery like similar pages, similar categories and contextual path related categories.

Jubii - like all email clients (Jubii is webmail) the idea is to extend this workspace into a PIM (Personal Information Management) space. Jubii is email with VOIP, IM…these are the 3 usual communication channels.
But hasn’t Google go this covered, I guess Jubii’s 10 GB is attractive.
Another feature is that it can host any type of file, and you can share these files with your contacts list, even share your inbox. Like other email or PIM services I guess to-do, calendar, tasks, notes are next to be added.
Wasn’t Haystack meant to be the personal dashboard of the future.

NOTE: Gmail and Gtalk are integrated, what about adding Google Calendar, Google Docs and Spreadsheets, and Google Notebook as an email based PIM system…I guess that’s what Google Startpage is for, but I think email has, and always will be the startpage

Wink is joining the people search game, you can now update your profile by entering all your online identities, and describe yourself with tags.

Take it with you via a widget, see an example on the Laughing Squid Blog:
- it has a link to each of that person’s various websites they author
- tags (displays bookmarks and people with that tag)
- search box (displays people with that tag)

Here is a people search for “opml“.

This is amazing it searches in the interests/profile pages of the meta-identity of these Wink people.

So if a Wink person has added to their profile, links to their other various profiles: Bebo, Friendster, LinkedIn, Live Spaces, MySpace. Then a people search in Wink will search in the interests/profile metadata of all these services.

The benefit of this is I can meta-search people interests/tags from the one site, I don’t have to go to each of these services above to search for people by interest, I can do if all from Wink.

The only thing I noticed is that a people search for “opml” didn’t return me, and I have tagged myself with the the term “opml” in my actual Wink profile. So a people search is serching for these terms across the 5 current networks, but what about Wink itself.

Another bonus is advanced searching, limit this to: location, distance, name, gender, status, age or network.

Another service called Ziki allows you to tag yourself so you can search for people by interest/tag, just like in Wink and even Explode.
These services allow you to add links (Explode and Ziki) or stream content (Ziki) from all your other online identities, but where Wink shines is that it will extract the people tags from all these other online identites.

Lijit is also people search, manage all your online identities and search the full-text across all your identities, also add friends so you can search across your profile and their profile at the same time.
NOTE: Lijit doesn’t let you describe yourself with tags.

So I guess Wink has gone the granular step and is searching interest/profile metadata across all your identities.

Feedback

Within your Wink profile you can manage all your identities (and get ‘em on a widget), but in the Wink people search it will only search interest profiles in 5 online identity services, these all being social networks. It can’t search your people tags in del.icio.us because there isn’t any, it can’t search your people tags in your blog, because their isn’t any.
Since MyBlogLog represents my blog, then I suppose it could search my “About me” metadata in my MyBlogLog account.

I guess Wink will start expanding this list, I’d like to include Yedda, MyBlogLog, and Ziki added.
As I mentioned before I don’t know why it doesn’t search for interests tags in people’s actual Wink profile.
