Ripple provides a market exchange methodology, among other things. Bitcoin can't do that natively due to the lack of looping in its scripts.
Also, check out Ethereum. If they pull it off, it'll twist your noodle with the possibilities.

Colored coins has two GUIs, and counterparty has a command line client with a simplified GUI, and more GUIs on the way. Both of these projects are very alpha, so anyone checking them out should only use money you can afford to lose until they're out of beta (and the devs of both projects are pretty responsible about this, I believe). I'm a little skeptical of Ethereum. It's notoriously difficult to build sandboxed virtual systems for browsers, much less for payment/asset exchange systems. And the money they raised with no working prototype is somewhat obscene (I think the typical HN start-up would have a conniption fit if they learned how much they raised, and still maintained ownership). But it is an incredibly cool idea. We'll see.
