			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Lets Talk About is a social site that aims to help you connect with random people on Facebook who are talking about something that interests you. It is built around topics instead of people and in turn lets the people connect with each other through that.</p>
<p>The homepage shows a list of people and conversations and you can directly start talking with any of them after you connect your Facebook account to the tool. It&#8217;ll need some permissions and you&#8217;ll need to grant access. You know the usual drill with any app that uses Facebook Connect. Once done, you&#8217;re all set to use the service.</p>
<p><img src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/dir/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/letstalkabout1.png?570cd5" alt="letstalkabout" /></p>
<p>The good thing about the tool is that it hasn&#8217;t made things complicated. It&#8217;s all very simple. As you see in the screenshot below, you can type something about a topic, a related URL and post it publicly. You&#8217;ll then see the related discussions and can connect with people accordingly.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>While you are browsing a webpage, the chances are that thousands of other users are visiting the same webpage but there is no way for you to interact with them. Pushnote changes that by letting you leave comments on any webpage and read what other Pushnote users have written about that particular page.</p>
<p>Once you sign up for free and install one of the browser extensions (Chrome, Firefox IE), you are ready to use Pushnote. If users have left comments on the webpage you are browsing, the little Pushnote icon adjacent to the address bar will turn green, and if any of the comments are from your friends the same little icon will turn red. You can then click it to read comments, follow users, see hot pages and add comments. You can also import contacts from Twitter and Facebook and start following them instantly.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This web app is of course a fun idea but useful nevertheless. Have a dispute to settle? File a complaint with the Webunal, let your opponent post his/her defense and let regular Facebook and Twitter users decide who is right. Anyone can file a complaint and anyone can be the jury. All you need is a Twitter or Facebook account.</p>
<p>You can start judging any open case, review cases that have been closed and view the cases you have been involved in. The cases can be made public or kept private. When casting a vote, you can view what verdict other web jurors have come up with and even add comments to support your decision.</p>
<p>The interface is pretty sleek and easy to use but the app is still a bit buggy in terms of functionality.</p>
<p><img src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/dir/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/webunal.png?570cd5" alt="web court" /></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>No matter how many websites Google indexes, it will probably never replace the human tendency to ask questions to each other. There are already sites like Yahoo! Answers that let people ask questions to each other but they are quite broad and general. Shapado solves this by letting you create a Q&amp;A website specific to any topic.</p>
<p>All you need to do is give your site a name, a description and some default tags. Your site will also get a custom URL like <em>abc.shapado.com</em> and provide traffic details using Google Analytics. You can also choose between 4 different languages and do everything in a few seconds.</p>
<p>A management console lets you see the list of users who join your group and see what questions are still unanswered. The site has a simple and easy-t0-navigate interface.</p>
