Roundup : RS3, Scouta, Ning (update), MyPictr, vFlyer, Mabber
RS3 - similar to system tray RSS Readers, only RS3 also expands to full page (this is a transparent page). Drag and drop feeds, filter watchlist terms that pop up toast, sticky windows, intergrates with adding feeds using IE.
Scouta - bookmark and tag websites, audio, video and you are recommended other sites, also form groups (each had a podcast feed)…here’s an explanation. The recommendation I suppose is similar to StumbleUpon, as you explicitly tell it what you like…see more.
Ning (update) - it’s been a while since their initial release, but now they really do mean a novice can create any type of social network application…seems more inline with the simplicity of website creators like SiteKreator and Weebly.
MyPictr - resize your image for your profiles in social networks, etc…
vFlyer - create professional looking flyers (choice of themes) and even submit it to a classifieds site like ebay and Edgeio…see the tutorial. Also manage your flyers, get stats.
Here is an example of selling a car. Also promoting itself as classified ads widgets. See Letterpop for Newsletters.
Mabber - meta web-based IM client that also has a widget for your blog vistors to chat with the blog owner (the blog owner reponds with their regular IM client)…sounds like meebome, see more.

Thanks for the link to Scouta, John.
I hope you’re finding it useful. The aim is obviously to cut out the “white noise” and provide really relevant audio and video for each member.
Cheers
Rich
