Wish there was a handy little app that could check through all your IE/FF bookmarks and tell you which are dead links. Is there such a thing? Given the huge number of bookmarks I’ve got, something to weed out the dead ones would be pretty handy. (…and if it could incorporate something that gets rid [...]

Nice Traffic Update App (& a bonus)
Is there a service that looks at your calendar and sends you mobile traffic alerts depending on your meeting location? This is the second transport related app in a couple of days (the first was to do with Flight Status). I really like this one – it’s moving towards an Ambient Intelligence type of application [...]
Restaurant waiting time app
Is there an app that tells you average waiting time at local restaurants? Now *that* would be super useful right now. There are a few restaurant (and general) review sites (like grabmytable.com which launched recently in Ireland) that could capture and publish this information. It could be an useful additional way of helping people decide [...]
Real-time flight status app
Is there a twitter app or iPhone app that helps you track flight status in realtime? I’m pretty sure I’ve seen something like this somewhere (I have a feeling it was web-based and only for a particular airline though). There are certainly status tracking web-apps for public transport in some places (e.g. I’ve seen one [...]
Firefox plugin for limiting visiting time
Is there a firefox plug-in that gives the option to limit time on certain sites or pops up to tell me times passing instead of all block? This would probably be useful for helping people manage their productivity – something that will give you a little nudge to get off a social networking site & [...]
Spotify Lyrics App
Image by lunken via Flickr Is there an app that can put lyrics on Spotify? Spotify is an on-demand music service (currently only available in the UK). Adding the option of viewing lyrics is a good idea, although I’m not sure how easy it would be to extend the app to include lyrics (I don’t [...]
iPhone Geo-Tagging Privacy App
Is there an iPhone app that blocks geo-tagging near specified locations? i.e. so phone-cam shots don’t reveal the exact location of my home. With lots more services & mobile devices offering location-based services, there’s a need for including a way to protect user’s privacy….as this request illustrates.

Holidays!
The wee man that gives you good ideas is on holidays for a few days – he’ll be back with more daily good ideas for you late next week. If you’re at a loss for some ideas, you’ll find a stream of them on the TwitEye homepage. If you’ve got any good ideas of your [...]
Some Friendly Twitter Apps
A couple of friend related Twitter app ideas: Is there an app that shows all the Twitpics my friends posted? …and… Is there a way to see the trends ONLY from people I am following? I quite like the Trends idea – it would be a good way to get an overview of what’s big [...]
iPhone Mecca App
Is there an app for the 3GS that points to Mecca? I thought there was a compass on the iPhone 3Gs. But even if there is, and app that integrates the compass and was pre-programmed with alarms for prayer times could be useful to some…no? Taken from the TwitEye ideas stream.
