- Colour Contrast Check - snook.ca
- Handy and nicely-done tool for checking the contrast of colour combinations when designing websites.
- SitBy.Us
- Simple tool that I think lets you see what your Twitter friends are going to at SXSW. There is way too much to go and see.
- Jumblr - Unjumble your life.
- Nice map-based Freecycle-alike. Fun to browse. (via Crackunit)
