TalkShoe Beta. Very cool, interesting new way to connect people using user generated talk shows and discussions.
As a user you can join live discussions or "Talkcasts" with text chat, by calling in or voice over IP. You do have to download the Talkshoe Live component to participate, or you can just listen in. These Talkcasts can be recorded for future listening or podcasting.
Show hosts can actually make money off of the casts with the model that TalkShoe has set up. You can also set up a private TalkCast for chatting with family and friends. I'm going to check out the Net@Nite show with Amber MacArthur in a couple hours.
Stylehive is a social shopping community site where members, or "hivers", can share their finds in the latest trends, designers, styles and everything hot right now. As a "hiver" you can post your own bookmarked items on the web to your "hive", as well as copying other posted bookmarks to your hive. The product is a collection of items that you dig (no, not digg...but something similar.)
There's a point system in place where you your items earn points when other people copy them to their hives. Its a very cool site that can be used for "window shopping" or to mark items to a wishlist so that you friends and family know what you are interested in (Christmas is coming, after all!) Its easy to find cool new designers and unique products becuase there are a lot of people posting that have great style.
Other cool features:
Follows: you can follow ppl to keep them in your network
Magazines: you can create your own magazines of the products that you like
