Interclue - a web preview similar to Snap. Interclue can also be used as a browser button to get more info about the page you are viewing, and it also has action icons.
I’d like to see this kind of thing for blog posts, just click on the title or footer and from the preview box access information and start an action:
- summary
- statistics
- bookmark submit and popularity
- Technorati Tags
- Sphere related posts
- Chat/comment withvarious 3rd party services
- blog it/twitter it
- email to a friend
- print
- etc… [via RWW]

Desktop On Demand - these webtops are becoming a crowded market, just can’t see myself using one as yet, but I really like the idea of how they move on from the startpage idea to an online desktop with inbuilt web apps like email, file manager,etc…Startpages also have inbuilt apps, but allow you to embed widgets from elsewhere, maybe webtops could be just as extensible. I’d like a webtop where I could choose the web email, IM, file manager, RSS reader, MS Office web equivalents, etc…

TweetVolume - compare keywords visually in Twitter…I’d like this as a graph, like being able to user users, time, location, etc…also see Twitterment.

Second Brain - your online filing cabinet is in 3 sections:
1. synchronise content from social bookmarks, photo’s video, etc…this means you can access your del.icio.us bookmarks, YouTube clips from within 2nd brain
2. Upload files form your PC, where they have their own hosted URL (give your word documents a URL)
3. Create collections and mindmaps

Apparently they are adding new modules like feeds, I’d like to see a notes module.
The great thing is that it is social so you can search content and people, I see it as a combination of services:
- Lifestream or identity content management eg. Stalkr, Mugshot, and also a people search engine based on who has registered.
- file host with widgets eg. box
- lists/collections eg. buzka, Squidoo and others
- mindmaps

Profy points to Backwardblog, a widget message board for your blog sidebar that allows your blog visitors to post messages, you can follow these with a private RSS feed, or share the feed with others. I suppose you can use it as a public “contact us” facility.
Other ways are a blog chat widget, message box (smilar one’s have post by SMS with texterize) or visitor book, or even a contact form (this is private).

There are ideas for blog owners to use it as a side blog (another method is to re-syndicate an edge feed).

It also says: “A trackback link, which other bloggers can use to add their individual blog posts to your BackwardBlog. “

If this is what I think it is, it says that your Backwardblog has a trackback URL, meaning excerpts of other people’s posts can appear in your backwardblog widget.

This is exactly the idea I had in mind about a year ago, when people want to publish a comment or trackback to a blog in general and not in regards to a blog post, they choose the “About page”.
They either leave a comment on someone’s “About page post”, or write a post in their own blog and have the post appear as a trackback in the “About page” of the blog they are pinging.

I wanted to use it for a further purpose, just say you post something and want to ping your friends in general at the same time as publishing your post. One way is to collect all the trackback URL’s of the About pages of your friends blogs, but over time this can feel like spamming…for a full explanation see my post reverse blog and email blog post pinging.

In my post email and blog comments is a similar situation where when I comment on a blog I want to ping others to let them know, join in, etc…so for this to happen we need a ping address box in a comments form.

Maybe backwardblog could be our ping homepage or widget, as a space where others can ping us to let us know about stuff, the first deal would be a contacts section so we can access our friends ping addresses.

I’m seeing this the same as explicit link sending social networks like ShareThis (formerly share2me), PluralList, The Coop, and bzzster.

There could be a social network for pinging, maybe called “Ping me” or “Ping on Me” (that doesn’t sound nice).

So how it would work is that everyone in the PingMe network has a PingURL, you have an add friends contact list, and maybe you can even group friends (this group could have a spliced PingURL so you Ping once to many people in your contacts).

NOTE: I really don’t know all the technical issues and spam issues, I’m just thinking out loud.

Next time I’m posting on my blog and want to let a few buddies know about my post, I can ping their PingMe URL’s, and an excerpt and link back to my post will appear in their PingMe inbox.

Next time I’m posting a comment on a blog and want to let my buddies know about this comment I’m making, I can ping their PingMe URL’s, and an excerpt and link back to my post will appear in their PingMe inbox.
