Of the 20 or so demos set out to bake in the afternoon sun on the August Capital patio for the TechCrunch party Friday, my award for the most interesting goes to Plista, a social recommendation service that follows what you like and don't across sites. Plista currently uses a Greasemonkey script. Once you install it, when you go to a site in the Plista system--CEO Dominik Matyka told me there are about 30 so ...

Personal organizer PageOnce has a great iPhone application that I think many will find to be incredibly useful. Like its desktop sibling, PageOnce for iPhone is a feed aggregator the likes of Netvibes or MyYahoo. The only difference is that you're feeding it account information for utilities and services to get a quick overall view of your various balances and spending activity. I've been using the application for the past few days, and have come ...

Pixily is a cool scan-by-mail service that launched in early June. Like Shoeboxed, which I checked out last month, Pixily is all about taking paper clutter out of your life by scanning it in for you and making it both searchable, and able to be organized into buckets. The big difference between the two services is that Pixily is focused less on receipts and finances, and more on day-to-day papers like insurance claims, long cell ...

Opposing Views is a new site for debate that's launching today. The content on it is great reading. And as CEO Russell Fine said, "I get a lot of people angry. Which is mission accomplished." I love that. The site poses questions to people known for representing strong positions on them. The questions are precisely those you don't generally ask at cocktail parties, such as "Is there a God?" and "Should the death penalty be ...

Google programmers are adding support for the Perl programming language to its App Engine service for hosting Web applications, but so far it's not really an official project. The work is the project of Google employee Brad Fitzpatrick, who disclosed the project on his blog Tuesday. But he's not a member of the App Engine team, and Google isn't promising Perl support, he said. By going public with the project, he hopes to intercept other ...

Mark Zuckerberg today officially rolled out Facebook Connect, a way for apps not on the Facebook Platform to leverage the Facebook social network.

Fluther, my favorite Q&A site has launched a new feature Wednesday called "Your Fluther." It lets you follow other people's activity on the site in one centralized, easy to parse feed. It's a companion to the built-in recommendation engine "just for you" that will feed you with questions based on topics listed in your profile and tracked site usage. More importantly, it's an easy way to create a private group of users who you'd rather ...

If you're not the type of person to carry around a notepad or voice recorder with you, there are a handful of Web services raring to help you out if you've got a mobile phone. ReQall, a service that launched back at Demo 07 has a great new iPhone application that does just that. I got in touch with Sunil Vemuri, ReQall's chief product officer who showed it off during one of today's CEO pitch ...

Social-networking savant Flock has announced a re-branded version of its browser aimed at fashionistas. At the very least, it's aimed at people who like the color pink and lipstick marks on their advertising. Called Gloss, it's a pink-and-purple themed edition of Flock 1.2 that comes with fashion-related feeds and bookmarks pre-loaded. The Gloss rebuild of Flock shows the pinker side of browsing.(Credit: Flock, Inc.) The list of baked-in feeds for the Windows-only Gloss includes Cosmopolitan, ...
