Digg Swarm draws a circle for stories as they're dugg. Diggers swarm around stories, and make them grow. Brightly colored stories have more diggs.

These interactive visualizations look beneath the surface of the Digg community's activities. The visualization has three modes: all activity, popular, and newly submitted stories.

Diigo (dee'go) is a free online social bookmarking and annotation service. It offers an integrated, simple-to-use platform to let you easily annotate, bookmark, share and discover online contents.

In addition to allowing the tagging and sharing of bookmarks, Diigo provides the following features (most of them are unique to Diigo as of now - we think )

• Adding sticky notes and highlights
• Forwarding of multiple annotated pages
• Everything can have either public or private settings
• Public notes and highlights are seen by visitors of the web page if they also have the Diigo toolbar
• Advanced search for tags, titles, highlights, notes, and text.
• ... and some more.

Mozilla has release offically version 1.5 of its light-speed browser Firefox. It now supports drag and drop of open tabs to keep related pages together, improved pop-up blocking, live bookmarks:

Found this at TUGW:

"Google's Gapminder is a visually animated system that develops free non-profit information statistics. Google has helped put together this system so that users can have an enjoyable format to view boring data in. The information stored in the system has been collected from World Developments Indicators, and from the World Bank."

While watching the Hot Spurls I recognized several links that pointed to something called TiddlyWiki. First I thought this might be just another free serverside Wiki and clicked to see if it could be interesting...
And: IT IS!!! WOOOWHAA! I have never seen a single HTML-page where I you can modify content in such a smart way! Damn nice animation, perfect color scheme, superb background programming and a lot of features to replace your boring desktop stickies!

A MUST HAVE: http://shared.snapgrid.com/gtd_tiddlywiki.html

Eine weitere gute Extension für das Arbeiten mit Quellcode...

"Displays formatted and color-coded source and optional CSS information for each element. You can see exactly which CSS rules match for an element. The rules are displayed including file name and line number. The topmost element is that with the highest priority. You can fold/unfold/hilite block elements (table, tr, td, div, span,...). Really cool feature: select a block level element of interest directly in the page and view it's source! To help you to quickly analyze the source code you can view images directly from the source and add comments to folded block elements. The code view is based on the rendered document, so you will also see dynamically (by Javascript) created and modified html elements! Works also with frames and selected text."

Opera Software today announced the worldwide release of Opera Mini, the free full Web browser that runs on almost every mobile phone, including low- and mid-end handsets.

Instead of requiring the phone to process Web pages, it uses a remote server to pre-process the page before sending it to the phone. This makes Opera Mini perfect for phones with very low resources, or low bandwidth connections.

Cusomized Multiple Rss Feed Reader are growing like mushrooms over the web. Googles Personalized Homepage is one solution but Microsofts implementation of start.com offers some more flexibility even if the Find Button guides us to some evil search results %)
