The XBIZ Weekly Tech Watch

This week's tech watch brings word of a helpful new application for Apple's iPhone, as well as other new online startups aimed at making the web more interesting.

• The social networking website Wakoopa.com monitors and shares information about the desktop applications used by its members.

• Here's an interesting one: Sazell.com lets users take instant snapshots of entire web pages that they can then share.

• For those webmasters who hadn't heard of this excellent service yet, Dipity.com helps users organize information into interactive timelines.

• There's a new, slimmer version of the Xbox available for gamers on the go.

• Speaking of gamers, this new mouse packs 15 buttons to better play World of Warcraft with.

• More and better touch-screen technology is on the way, including this new interactive tablet.

• Bill Gates is making an unwitting appearance in this new ad for condoms.

• Adult industry pros may enjoy spoiling their pets with this new motorized pet blanket, although the device inspires other uses, too.

• This one is on the ultra-nerdy side of things, but an unknown artist built an actual model of a Transformer.

• Music fans may want to check out LP33.tv, a new video-centric music sharing website. Mufin.com is an automated engine that recommends music to users. Also in the music realm is SonicSwap.com, which lets anyone share their iTunes music library online with anyone else.

• One of the most common complaints levied against Apple's iPhone is the difficulty typing on its touch-keyboard. The new application TouchType lets users type on a larger, horizontally aligned keyboard.

• Users on the social networking website ReframeIt.com can add comments to any webpage on the net through a shared sidebar.

• Miss the Olympics? There's a new, interactive, virtual tour of Beijing's Forbidden City online.

• Users looking for a user-generated, interactive alternative to Google and Yahoo search may find some use in Mahalo.com.
