Tumble-Hybrid
Transforming Your WordPress into a Tumble-Hybrid, we’re halfway there. Now someone should do a few awesome Tumblr-like styles around it. Projectionist is the first I saw and a great example of the medium.
Litepost Email App
Litepost is a new open source web application that’s taking a new approach to the long-ignored realm of webmail. The state of online email has been advanced enormously by Gmail and Yahoo in the past two years, but the webmail apps, particularly the open source ones, haven’t responded in kind. Litepost is worth keeping an eye on.
Pownce
I’m really enjoying Pownce.
Gelato CMS
Gelato CMS is an open source implementation of the tumblelog concept, as popularized on Tumblr. I’m a big fan of the Tumblelog concept, it’s not dissimilar to what I do here and on matt.wordpress, but I’d love to see it implemented as a WordPress theme. Hat tip: Ryan.

DoubleClick and Kevin Ryan
I just read about DoubleClick being acquired for 3.1 billion by Google. Coincidentally I met Kevin Ryan, co-founder of DoubleClick, earlier today. These days he’s involved in several startups, he showed me a cool demo of one called ShopWiki. It’s a shopping search engine that indexes everything, not just paid feeds like Shopping.com does, and you can do cool stuff like search by color and neat range stuff.
Clipmarks
Clipmarks is probably the best implementation I’ve seen of the idea of bookmarking a part of a page.
