UserName Check – Social Networking Username Availability
Jeremy Davis mentioned this in passing in his twitter workshop at the Leadship 3.0 conference. It checks dozens of social software services to see if a particular username is already taken. This way you (or a beginning user you're helping) can choose a username they can use "everywhere." Or… it can drive others to want to sign up for dozens of services they haven't tried. ;)

The Nambu Network | Social Messaging Streamlined
This is an new Twitter client (for Macs) that is making waves in the edutwittersphere (that is, among educators who use twitter regularly). I found I like many of the features, but the simple lack of being able to click on a link directly and have it open in my browser sent me back to using Tweetdeck.

Hunch
This new web service aims to help you make decisions… by asking you questions and then delivering concrete advice. It learns from you – and from other users. I'm interested to see where this goes and intrigued by the educational possibilities.
