Spaaze is an entirely free online corkboard which lets users organize sticky notes, links, images, videos and basically anything else you could think of in an infinite canvas which is saved in real-time. It’s a great way to organize separate bits of online information together in one easily accessible location as you figure out what’s what.
Gumroad launched this week to a huge amount of interest from consumers and from the media. The startup is basically a service which lets users buy and sell digital goods with no hassle and minimal effort. Whether you’re selling design templates, source code or sharing a private link – you’re able to monetize it in just a few clicks. We invited the developer of Gumroad, Sahil Lavingia, to have a chat to us about the huge potential of the product.
The best way to ensure your startup has a place in the market, and to ensure that it has long-term potential, is to figure out what ‘problem’ you’re fixing in the life of your users. If your product isn’t fixing a problem, no matter how generalized that problem may be, its chances of being successful are severely limited.

Everyday is an all new app for your iPhone 4 which creates amazing, and perhaps a little more than mildly creepy, videos using photos of your face taken every single day. The concept is very similar to this video, or if you’re looking for something even weirder, this one.
Thermo is an iOS app which acts as a thermometer, using geo-location functionality to let you know the current temperature in your area. The app itself is beautifully designed, and while simple, it fulfills its purpose very well.
