Propeller – From the creators of Netscape a social news portal programmed by you—the audience! Its kinda like digg, maybe even better, but that is for you to decide.
Spiral Frog – Download songs legally and free, from a number of labels (Universal seems to be the biggest backer at the moment) with a potential catalog of 700,000+ tracks. What is the catch?

Mint – Today you can handle all of your financial transactions online (Bank account, credit card, student loan, bills etc.) however in order to do so you have to visit and login to each one of them.

In addition Mint will remind you of bills to pay and how to save money. My mother used to tell me “Money, Money, Money ….. Control it wisely”.
