Picks of the Week

Stuart – Tweetbot for Mac OS X – still in alpha but already better in many ways then tweetdeck.

Jon – Cloud App – CloudApp allows you to share images, links, music, videos and files.

Carmi – TrapIt = reader-on-steroids, something like Zite and Readability, but adaptive over time.
