Long Time Lost

Long Time Lost: "Long Time Lost is a free 'service' (more so it is a software app written by someone who had some spare time, good programmer friends, a little bit of creativity and a lot of coffee) that allows you to create a 'search' for someone you lost touch with. That 'search' is then indexed by Google (and other search engines) and then when that person you are looking for (or someone who knows them) does a 'Vanity Search' (the process of searching for one's own name on Google... we know you do it!) they find your 'search' and can respond to you and reconnect. All information is handled through the system so your private information like your email address isn't out there on the net."

Mash up RSS feeds with xFruits - Lifehacker
"Want to play with RSS feeds? Try xFruits, where, according to tech enthusiast Steve Rubel, you can "teach your feeds all kinds of new tricks." He's not kidding around, either: you can create a PDF file from an RSS feed, send an OPML to your mobile, aggregate, and lots more. I played with it a little bit and was suitably impressed by all the options; it looks like they're even adding the option to create RSS feeds for your desktop files soon."

COMMENTS: "Your Disposable Phone Number for the Web"
I'm sure someone will have a nefarious use for this, but it really does seem like a good idea for when you're selling/trading things on the internet and don't want to give out your real number to potentially shady people.

5 cool ways to use Yahoo! Pipes - franticindustries.

5 cool ways to use Yahoo! Pipes - franticindustries.: "I’ve had some time to play with Yahoo!’s new RSS mixing service, Pipes, and I’m impressed with the possibilities. Unfortunately, there’s still a hefty number of bugs, and some features are sorely lacking (experienced coders will probably be most annoyed by being forced at working in a visual environment and not being able to look at the actual code). Still, even in its current state Pipes is offering a myriad of interesting possibilities."
