"TouchGraph "Visual Search Engine

TouchGraph is one of those services that will surprise you its features the first time you try it. TouchGraph lets you navigate information returned from Google, Amazon, and Facebook in a visual format right on their site. Other services have integrated TouchGraph’s visual organization functionality as well.

Google
After logging in to the TouchGraph Google browser, you input a search term just like you would on Google. The site queries Google, and returns the information in a visual format. The site returns what looks to be a mindmap layout of the search results with logos for each site and lines between the results form interconnecting webs. You can scroll through the world of your search results and the site moves and flows with the cursor. Your results are organized into clusters which you can color code and organize in any way you like.


Facebook
You can log in to the TouchGraph platform directly through Facebook, and I must say this may be my favorite use of this technology. Your friends and your friends’ photos are automatically imported into TouchGraph and they are organized by location. It is a really interesting way to see your friends, and to see relationships between your friends. You can adjust spacing, zoom in and out, and you can view photos from your friends on different networks. Interestingly, you can also see which of your friends have the most photos together.

Amazon
An Amazon search on TouchGraph returns results from the sites large assortment of books, music, and movies. Similar to the Google functionality above, but returns Amazon specific items. You can add genre tags, sort by artist, album, or label and you can see the prices of the material you are looking at.

Clipperz is a new online password manager with a few tricks

About:
Clipperz is a new online password manager with a few tricks . Clippers not only manages your passwords like typical software password management solutions, it serves as a single sign-on solution for all of the different sites you visit.

Why It Could Works:
Creating an account requires no email confirmation, so right away Clipperz is off to a good start. After you create your account (they recommend a really strong password), you can begin storing your passwords. To sign up, visit http://beta.clipperz.com. Select the bookmarklet tab and you drag the button to the toolbar of your browser. After you visit the login page of your favorite sites, click the button from the toolbar, and you are given some code to take to Clipperz. This code is saved as a “direct login” and a new “Clipperz Card” is created. Now, when you log on to Clipperz, you have single click access to this web log in.

Clipperz also serves as a sort of bookmark repository, allowing you to choose from a long list of the sites you use that require logins and to have one click access to those sites. Additionally, you can store credit card information and address book information in Clipperz. As far as security, Clipperz encrypts your data locally through the browser before being uploaded, ensuring that Clipperz will not be able to recover your passwords or other sensitive information.

Web2.0 Marketing Toolset "Shoutlet

About:
Shoutlet users can create and share RSS feeds, HTML email newsletters, podcasts and SMS messages. Members can also create applets which allow you to distribute content via your own website.
Why It Could Works:
The difference between Shoutlet and the typical email marketing services is that Shoutlet leverages the power and popularity of newer Web 2.0 features instead of just email. Shoutlet tracks all sorts of data including who is reading your messages, which section of the messages are the most popular and how often podcasts are downloaded.
Shoutlet has a good set of features that could be beneficial for many small to medium sized businesses that have typically only contacted customers with email or paper newsletters. The site is clean and well organized. Right now, the site doesn’t offer any information about pricing and those who are interested have to call for a demo.

There's a problem with the productivity and collaboration tools you use - email, contact managers, calendars, task lists, and applications specific to the work you do. Powerful and feature-laden though they may be, their very capability presents a problem. The volumes of information you produce with these separate tools must all be organized, sorted, and filed - by you! If, like an ever-increasing number of people, you work both at home and from an office and use multiple PCs, the organizational struggle gets even more complicated. The smart phones and PDAs that were supposed to help us stay more organized only add to the confusion and complexity involved in keeping all your information current and accessible.
