I can’t count how many times I’ve looked for the ‘unsubscribe’ button in the emails that somehow wind up in my inbox. Well, once I get an invite from this bunny, things should hopefully get a bit easier. Unroll.Me is an email unsubscribe engine that crawls through your inbox and pulls up a list of your subscriptions allowing you to choose which one to keep and which ones to unsubscribe from. After you press unsubscribe, they will take care of the rest.

Handing over my email login comes with a twitch, but much like with Greplin and FollowUpThen, I’m willing to chance it to make my life that bit easier.

Small Demons is a project working on extracting more from the stories around us. With books consisting of rich tapestries of characters, places, events and more, Small Demonds aims (I think) to enable a new way of discovering new content through the subtle elements it contains. It sounds like a project of a magnanimous scale. Good luck guys, can’t wait to get my hands on that invite

This is ace.

Super nifty idea that allows you to ‘kickstart’ collective gifts for your friends via Facebook. You can nominate and choose a gift collectively, track the chipping-in progress and collectively give bigger, more meaningful gifts. This is super clever though I wish it was possible to rally for gifts for someone from their own friends (that you may not be connected with) rather than just those you have in common.

Lytro cameras will let you shoot first and then select which object you want to focus on. That’s right – after you shoot. The cameras will work by capturing a significantly higher degree of light than the current generation of cameras. You can get a feel of how this will work in their picture gallery, where you can click on any point in the picture to make it refocus. Can’t wait to see this in action!

Mapnificent shows you areas you can reach with public transport in a given time. It’s clever, useful & easy to use. Oh yeah, and so sold on Bethnal Green – again.

Bit of old, but nevertheless hyper-useful news. Kayak Explore is an awesome site that will let you browse your trip options on a map using criteria varying from price and time of the year you’d like to travel to what sort of sports you’d like to do once you get there.
