  My new project is about to launch on Sunday. It's called Skmmr. We got featured on the Next Web yesterday (http://thenextweb.com/apps/2011/10/24/skmmr-is-aiming-to-be-your-favorite-way-to-share-what-youre-reading-with-those-who-will-care/ http://thenextweb.com/apps/2011/10/24/skmmr-is-aiming-to-be-...) and are collecting some great interest for our beta. Skmmr is a web app that focuses on small, intimate group content sharing. Create a circle of people around an interest or hobby, limited to 8 people, drag our bookmarklet to your bookmarks bar and when you find something you really want to share in that topic area with your close friends, drop it into that circle. We send a digest out every evening with the newest links shared in the last day. Skmmr is run by 2 seniors at the University of Colorado and we're excited to release our beta on Sunday!

    Skmmr sounds really interested. I will be sure to give it a try if I ever get any friends on there.

  Oh ok, shameless self-promotion. We are in private beta for TrackIgnite (http://www.trackignite.com http://www.trackignite.com). Its a dashboard that allows users to synch their self-tracking health and fitness apps. The user can automatically see all their data in charts and graphs, retrieve their tracking history, and share it with anyone they invite or they can keep it public. We will launch a doctor/patient dashboard next month that allows patients to share their fitness, nutrition, mood, sleep and other data points to give the doctor quantified data and save on costly tests/treatments. Our beta users are in love with it and we're getting excellent word-of-mouth signups. We've integrated 30 self-tracking web and mobile based tools. I'm a self-tracking geek :)

    Shameless self promotion is exactly what I was looking for.

  Shameless self-promotion, but I expect big things from Fogbeam Labs: http://www.fogbeam.com http://www.fogbeam.com We're working on some innovative, open-source "social knowledge management" tools that combine social networks, social-network-analysis, machine-learning, semantic web tech, and search in some interesting ways, o help people find the information and knowledge they need to do their jobs. We're out to help firms increase productivity, innovate faster and decrease cycle times / become more adaptive.

  Self-promotion: at http://www.jaxcore.com http://www.jaxcore.com I've built a really neat NodeJS application server. And I experiment with ways to use it, including building a new mobile advertising platform.

  Still more self-promotion: http://www.ties.com/ http://www.ties.com/ and http://www.scarves.com/ http://www.scarves.com/ We are relatively unknown, but growing, and profitable. According to our rose-colored glasses, we have a lot of potential.

    far-fetched, but where are you from David?
