Snip.ly is a URL-shortening service that also allows you to include snippets, or summaries, of the article you are linking too.

a web application with an available bookmarklet that will automatically take text, either pasted in or from the referring webpage, and summarize it in as few lines as possible. There is a great article over at their blog about how great summaries disambiguate topics. That means that when a word is mentioned it uses context to determine what the actual sentence is about.

Geneio is a service that installs on your computer and analyzes your current web history to determine content that interests you. A few minutes after installing, it determines your preferences and generates a homepage which is tailored to your interests. The thing I like about Geneio is that you do not need to spend any time 'training' it. Once you install it, it uses your past web history to determine the types of articles and topics that you are already interested in, and I've found it to be fairly accurate.
