• DgL- Wikipedia over DNS
  Funny idea: offer a webservice over DNS using the subdomain part as the request keyword and the DNS txt record as response. Works faster than http, and cacheing is done by your own nameserver...
• Alamy Images
  Yet another Stock photo site: time for a meta search engine? "Stock Photography, Royalty Free Images & Licenced Stock Photos | "
• Power Twitter :: Firefox Add-ons
  Integrates search.twitter.com with Twitter, embeds rich media and expands shortened links. Unlike services like Tweetree, who require your username/pswd to function, this Firefox extension does the same in your browser. Hurray for client-side web experience enrichment!
• Antipatterns for sale
  Interesting discussion on the sale of a Twitter service (had 800 Twitter usernames and passwords - although afterwards the seller declared those were not included in the sale), the link with recent spamming, phishing attempts via Twitter, and whether OAuth is an adequate solution for all of this.
• Nice Translator - The fast, easy to use online translator
  On-the-fly translation as you type (Translation quality isn't any better than other services of course...)
• OpenID Explained
  (yet another) OpenID evangelisation site. Clear explanation, nice graphics. By a 2-person web shop.
• openid-selector - Google Code
  Javascript OpenID selector. Users select their account by a recognisable logo.
• gonze.com/playtwitter
  Bookmarklet and Greasemonkey userscript that lets you easily play mp3 files directly on Twitter or Jaiku. Transforms the [play http://hyperlink] phrase to an embedded flash player. Based on the del.icio.us Greasemonkey userscript.
