Have you ever heard of Suprglu? Matches today's discussion: the place in the web where all feeds of my contribution are aggregated to a personal page. You could aggregate group contributions this way as well.




And did you know MySyndicaat.com? Seems to be a bit alike, but more private and more advanced: you can set up various filters to get just the content you're interested in. After combining and remixing you can take a newly generated RSS feed of your special content.

Project Comet is focused on creating an advanced weblogging technology platform combining the best elements of all our products, giving people the ability to easily stake out, build and share their own place on the web.

Schoschie created this online tool to create letters. You can write a letter, make a PDF from it an print it on your corporate letter paper. A nice extension would be to share your letters. Seems to be quite easy to use.

I've added a new must reed feed (#73) to my daily RSS-reader:
Dion Hinchcliffe's Web 2.0 Blog. He has up some excelent discussions about the future of web companies and also deals with smart stats and graphics such as his Visualizing of the Web 2.0.

Definitely worth an everyday digets!

Vox Delicii is an a project that heat-mapped del.icio.us highly-linked websites. Stripes are a near-realtime cumulative view of popular sites organized by date and popularity. The size of each color chip refers to the relative amount of coverage an item has received. The color refers to relative growth or decay on that day. Color chips are arranged left-to-right, in the order of that link's first appearance.

Have fun to play around with the Vox Delicii.
