If you're interested in new internet stuff, check out Google's toolbar which does a lot of things as well as bringing Google to the desktop - it blocks popups, rates pages, and allows you to publish to a blog pretty easily.

Another interesting add-in is StumbleUpon, which uses a community-based ranking approach to guide you to pages that people with similar interests to you really like. It's a neat implementation of an explicit user modelling process (you explicitly say what your interests are, and explicity rate web pages) and so is a lo-tech version of form of the user modelling stuff we are tryinghere. There will be a project available in this area, if anyone is interested.
