New technologies are introduced on the Web every day. While some end up being huge successes, others are quickly deemed duds.

The following are a few of the coolest solutions, services and tools that the digerati (yes, that's a thing - but don't tell anyone) have been discussing, sharing among themselves and beta testing until their fingers have grown numb from clicking - and you get a sneak peek.
