Select what application you want to replace and they will give you suggestions on great alternatives! Instead of listing thousands of more or less crappy applications in a category, they make each application into a category. It’s more like a forever evolving blog posts about good alternatives to the software that you’re not satisfied with. And the “blog posts” are generated by you through suggestions, comments and votes.

Livelocker is a social media bookmarking site. It’s is a new way to find great videos, music, and photos, and share your favorites with the rest of the world.
Surf the web, find great media, and Submit it to the site. Use our browser buttons to simplify this task. Go bookmark all your favorites!
Browse the site to check out all the media others have submitted. Find something you like? Save it to your locker. Also rate media, comment, and enjoy together.
Find someone who always submits great stuff? Be sure to add him as a friend, so you can easily find media from people with similar interests as your own.
Livelocker is best described as a del.icio.us for rich media content with rating aspects from digg (and a similar interface). It allows users to bookmark, categorize and share links to videos, audio content and photos. The clean interface makes it easy for visitors to explore and find popular content online as well as to attach ratings to content and add them in their own locker.
The content itself is hosted on other sites and your own ‘locker’ and Livelocker itself only stores the link to the content.

Spotback develops a generic content personalization engine based on Spotback Rating™ technology. Spotback offers users the most interesting, relevant and hard to filter information personally tailored to their taste. Spotback technology includes sophisticated social behavior analysis algorithms that integrate the total user community rating into personally suited content to each user in the community.
The ideas and technologies of Spotback are based on the understanding that every user has his own personal fields of interest and tastes and that the true challenge lies in finding the data that will interest each specific user the most, rather than the data that most users think is interesting. This concept makes Spotback’s technology fundamentally different from the existing ‘find the most popular content’ or ‘top stories’ technologies.
