TwisterNow.net - Like Twitter But With Some Twists A Japanese startup, Twister takes the whole concept that lies at the heart of Twitter and adds some bells and whistles of its own. Actually, the team responsible for this new web service took more than the concept - the logo that they have come up with is perilously similar to Twitter’s.
Leaving that aside, what the site does is to bring a new level of interconnectivity between the posts that people make (which as you can probably guess are named “Twists” here).
ManageWP.com - Managing Several WordPress Blogs At Once As its name implies, ManageWP offers bloggers who use WordPress the chance to oversee everything from a unified location, saving a lot of time and effort in the process. This is made possible thanks to a dashboard where every single operation is centralized, and that enables you (as the blogger) to see exactly how each one of your blogs stands in connection with the others that make up your portfolio.
Using this service is as easy as signing up, adding a couple of blogs and then starting to monitor them.
Frobee.com - Create Flash Slideshow On The Spot Frobee is a flash slideshow maker that places all the emphasis on being eminently usable. If you decide to give it a try you will find out it supports a very good range of transitions and smart streaming, and that everything is kept in one place. That is, the slideshow that you create will not have Frobee looking up for the files anywhere else - it will all become part of the same file.
Divvyus.com - Administering Shared Tasks Letting you create a shared to do list is the aim of this new website, and it is an aim that if fulfills more than correctly. Named Divvyus, this site will let you come up with a to do list in which the tasks are assigned to different individuals. For example, if you are going to have a barbeque with your friends you can have John to bring in the beer, Peter to bring in the pork, Mark to take care of the chips, Stacy to bring the vegetable side dish… I think that you get the drift.
Mejuba.com - Store Photos & Videos For Free Mejuba is a photo and video hosting solution that has the distinctive advantage of being completely free and limitless. This means that if you decide to use it you will be capable of uploading as many images and videos as you want, without having to worry about storage limitations. I believe this is the first site that I come across which provides such a service - every other photo storage service that I have reviewed previously was a paid one after a certain point (and a very constricting point at that - you’d often have to pay if you wanted to go over as little as 100 MB).
AppCodeStore.com - Trading The Source Code From Apps Devised by a person who was closely involved in the early stages of the Apple iTunes App Store, this is a site solely aimed at developers.

From a technical point of view, this is accomplished by matching up websites that are connected by taking their unique ID codes and cross-referencing them in order to reveal hidden web networks.

BadNewsRobot.com - A Better Way To Give Bad News There was a time (around the Middle Ages) in which kings and monarchs actually executed messengers who gave them bad news. Gee. We have come a long way since that for sure, but if we were to be frank we would have to admit that whenever someone gives us a truly devastating piece of news then we all feel like committing a crime.
SnapGoods.com - Where Everything Is Shared & Rented The development and launch of a platform like Snap Goods was only due in a time of financial strain.

BrushesApp.com - For Artists On The Go That a device such as an iPad offers a whole new range of artistic possibilities is obvious even to people who have a limited understanding of how such a tool operates. And applications such as Brushes do nothing but underline that fact.

CouplesSpark.com - For Couples Who Fight Too Much I recall reading once something along the lines of “a relationship without fussing and fighting is not a true relationship”. That has more than an inkling of truth. And (as it is always the case), when we have a fight or a quarrel with our romantic partner then the people who are watching from the sidelines are the ones who can give us the best advice.
Bizmey.com - The Monetization Of Media Made Easy If we were to take into account the meteoric success of games like FarmVille, virtual currencies are the indisputable future of the Web. And we should not forget the uses that they have when it comes to applications, too. In both cases, “flexibility” is the byword.
GigWish.com - Make Your Favorite Band Come To Town Have you seen these Facebook groups that go along the lines of “Let’s gather 100.000 fans so that the Goo Goo Dolls will play Buenos Aires”?

Vendr.com - Sell Whatever You Want Online Vendr is an ecommerce solution for turning your site or blog into an online store, and sell whatever you want - both physical and digital goods are actively supported. The actual process couldn’t be easier to get to grips with, as you won’t change the layout of your site in any sense or the other, nor will you have to be well-versed in HTML - you will simply add a “Store” button to your site (or blog) for a window to pop up whenever a visitor wants to buy anything that you are listing such as a creative work (like a painting or a song), a piece of clothing that you have designed and manufactured yourself… Vendr makes no distinction - you can sell whatever you want as long as it is not something illegal or immoral.
The set up process takes approximately 15 minutes.
Lipdub.in - Find Lip Dubs From All Over The World As you probably know, lip dubs are these videos in which a guy is lip synching to an audio track that can be heard on the background, in such a way that if no-one told you that the guy is not the one singing then you wouldn’t know it. That is, when the synching is well done. Since the lion’s share of these videos that are found online are homemade, the quality varies a lot - some are brilliant, some are passable and some are unwatchable.

EmailM.in - Carrying Out Email Marketing Campaigns When done right, email marketing yields results that surpass those of virtually every other promotional tool - and it does so at a fraction of the price, too. But achieving the balance between offering people something that they will be interested in and offering it in a way that is not invasive is not easy. The chances of you getting it wrong at first are set higher than the chances of you doing it the way you should.
KeyTweet.com - Ensure The Relevancy Of Tweets The one disadvantage of Twitter as a tool for communication is that it’s too easy to clutter up your feed with messages from people who have really nothing to do with you. If you can’t picture what it feels like, just imagine what your feed on Facebook would look like if you sent friend requests to 50 random people at once, and they all accepted them. The next time you logged in you would be greeted with more information than even Peeping Tom would feel comfortable with.
Foodee.com - Reviewing Dishes And Not Just Restaurants There are enough restaurant review sites on the Web to fill Helm's Deep with - and then some.

Socurio.com - Making Art Accessible & Understandable Socurio is a new community site which aims to turn art into something more accessible to the public at large by acting as a direct bridge between consumers and artists. The way things (sadly) stand, artists seldom have the time (or even the resources) to promote and market their work to consumers as extensively as they would want. On the other hand, the usage of the word “art” ends up intimidating/alienating consumers who just don’t don't know what to choose in order not to make a style blunder.
