Honestly, it's very hard for me to figure out precisely what this is, but it seems like it could maybe come in handy. It partially automates the process of collecting those little embeddable snippets, widgets and thingies people collect for posting in their homepages or blog templates.

Via Mashable. Pete Cashmore describes this as blogging for baby boomers (i.e. people who are too old to grasp the concept of blogging). I don't get the age aspect, but this looks like it might be a cool service anyhow. Wonder how it compares to Dandelife.

"Do Not Disturb" sets a timer during which you are locked out of programs or URLs you specify. You can override the lockout by entering a very long random string of characters. Kind of a cool idea.

Lifehacker's Gina Trapani wrote the "Invisibility Cloak" script, which will black out "dangerous" (i.e., time-wasting) URLs during working hours.

This is a Greasemonkey script that sets a time limit for surfing sites you specify. After you've spent, say, ten minutes on Flickr or Bloglines, a pop-up informs you that you've used up your allotted minutes and forwards you to a new page (the author suggests a photo of your boss as the forward-to page).

Their blurb: "Tangler is a new network of advanced discussion. Join a group or start your own in minutes.
Real-time. Pictures and video. Instant notification." I've seen recommendations, have yet to try it.
