- NameThis
NameThis is a collaboration service that start-up companies can use to find a market-ready name. After you submit a request, people have 48 hours to comment and provide you feedback.

- Netopi
Netopi is a collaboration tool that lets users give reviews of websites, so that other people can read them and post their own. To start, just paste the URL into the box and, if present, you will be shown all of the reviews that users made of that site. To make your own review, type your name, your comment, give a positive or negative vote, provide tags and, if you want, a list of similar sites. Free to use, no signup required.

- SwarmSketch
SwarmSketch is an ongoing online canvas that explores the possibilities of distributed design by the masses. Each week it randomly chooses a popular search term: users can contribute a small amount of line per visit, then they are given the opportunity to vote on the opacity of lines submitted by other users. When the canvas reaches one thousand lines, or one week of life, a new one starts. Free.
