POPSManage email, calendar, and contacts with your voice For $6 a month, subscribe to a service that can access your POP3 email, read it to you over the phone, and allow you to dictate replies. Very cool. Also lets you manage contacts and calendar, though I'm not yet sure I get how that part works.

POPSWeb-based travel organizer (anyone tried this yet?) When you book a trip online, email your itinerary to Tripit, and it will aggregate everything about your travel into a single page (plus it will pull in data from around the web that's relevant to your travel). Looks very handy.

POPSDiigo's WebSlides is live: embed a feed as an in-page Flash slideshow Not 100% functional yet (you have to supply a feed rather than a list of sites, which is supposedly coming), but it seems very cool and potentially very useful. Give it a feed URL and it will generate a clickable, interactive, live slideshow of all the pages in the feed, which can be annotated by anyone (not just Diigo members) with no downloads.

POPSPost audio to Twitter by phone Not sure how useful I'll ever find this ... but, hey, it seems cool. "Register" your phone and Twitter account; then, call a number and record a 30-second message. Your audio will be mp3-encoded and a link to it will be posted to your Twitter stream.

POPSMassive site devoted to The Band For example: there's a page discussing the song "Tears of Rage" in a long essay, and then there's ANOTHER page of quotes from a long list of critical assessments of the song.

POPSFFFFOUND!: bookmark your cool images Sweet social-bookmarking site for images. Supposedly, if you use it enough, the site can learn what sorts of images you like and give recommendations. I think it's Japanese. Via http://snipr.com/1n8lf. Update : tried to register and discovered it's in private beta. Oh well.

POPSβackTweeter: Twitter for event backchannel communications This looks potentially really cool. If you create a fictive Twitter account for an event, or, say, a class, and event participants befriend this account, they can all communicate together in a sort of Twitter group room. Though, why not use a Meebo room?

POPSJan Staller: photographing the built environment, sans people This is the photographer behind the collection "Frontier New York," which showed slightly surreal images of New York City from angles and perspectives in which no people were present. Most of these photos are human-made landscapes or objects, but without the people themselves. The overall effect is peculiar, and interesting.

POPSAutomoblox: cool wooden toy cars for kids Sets of toy blocks that can be put together to make all kinds of different car designs. They appear to be about 8 inches across, and they retail for about $35 apiece. Looks cool. Update : Here 's a better illustration of all the pieces in a single set.

POPSDandelife: "Social biographies" An odd, but potentially very cool idea. It's a tweaked blogging concept organized around sharing stories of your life from the past, rather than today's ephemera. Site layout emphasizes social timelines and displaying everyone's data together. Clearly the founders want to build strong community.
