http://emailops.com - creates an ascii formated schedule for email arbitration. Was used by several professors in india to schedule meeting times for study sessions. Never took off.
http://celebrityladder.com - reddit like voting system for anything taggable. Was only intended for me to learn RoR- i killed it almost immediately. Thought it was a really dumb idea as soon as it went live, but I haven't been able to clear it completely from my mind yet.
http://theuniveristy.org - a really cool social network which only used the web for organizing. Rest was done through the mail. Inspired by the zine/mail art world that was more or less killed by the web. Basically, it paired 12 people randomly, then once a week for 3 months (12 weeks) somebody was supposed to send some thing to the other 11 people in their class. This actually worked for folks, but some people didn't participate, and I had no idea how to manage the community. Was around 2000, maybe friendster was just around, and there weren't establish patterns for handling things like this, and mostly I was interested in just creating it. But, this project has really stuck in my mind. If there is interest here in this project, i'll bring it back to life.
