POPSThomas the Transformer Engine The Ebay.co.sg auction (bit.ly/f9sZ2) for this item has expired, but it's still cool. Just in case anyone's wondering, that's not Thomas. The blue one is too long to be Thomas. I think it's probably Edward, but maybe Gordon. The red one is James and the green one has got to be Henry. I saw this because Airam F. (a.k.a. haraya) twittered about it (bit.ly/j7nEB).

POPSUse your mobile phone like a business card: myDropcard.com Kind of a cool idea. When you meet someone (in real life) and want to exchange contact information, send an SMS to this site with their email address, and they will be forwarded a link to a simple, professional-looking page with your email address, phone number, web link, and social networking profiles.

POPSWeb-based travel organizer (anyone tried this yet?) When you book a trip online, email your itinerary to Tripit, and it will aggregate everything about your travel into a single page (plus it will pull in data from around the web that's relevant to your travel). Looks very handy.

POPSDiigo's WebSlides is live: embed a feed as an in-page Flash slideshow Not 100% functional yet (you have to supply a feed rather than a list of sites, which is supposedly coming), but it seems very cool and potentially very useful. Give it a feed URL and it will generate a clickable, interactive, live slideshow of all the pages in the feed, which can be annotated by anyone (not just Diigo members) with no downloads.

POPSPost audio to Twitter by phone Not sure how useful I'll ever find this ... but, hey, it seems cool. "Register" your phone and Twitter account; then, call a number and record a 30-second message. Your audio will be mp3-encoded and a link to it will be posted to your Twitter stream.

POPSFFFFOUND!: bookmark your cool images Sweet social-bookmarking site for images. Supposedly, if you use it enough, the site can learn what sorts of images you like and give recommendations. I think it's Japanese. Via http://snipr.com/1n8lf. Update : tried to register and discovered it's in private beta. Oh well.

POPSβackTweeter: Twitter for event backchannel communications This looks potentially really cool. If you create a fictive Twitter account for an event, or, say, a class, and event participants befriend this account, they can all communicate together in a sort of Twitter group room. Though, why not use a Meebo room?

POPSDandelife: "Social biographies" An odd, but potentially very cool idea. It's a tweaked blogging concept organized around sharing stories of your life from the past, rather than today's ephemera. Site layout emphasizes social timelines and displaying everyone's data together. Clearly the founders want to build strong community.
