* Makeover Studio: offers sneak previews of how you'd look in a new hairstyle, lipstick or killer shades; while rival eMakeover is doing the same thing with an even sillier range of hairdos. Digitise a pic of yourself - you can scan a photo at some copy-shops these days - upload it, and morph yourself into gorgeousness: an enchanting honey-blonde, say, with huge dusky-plum eyes and dusty-rose lips... When happy with the result, print it out and get busy turning yourself into this thrilling stranger. But only if you're a woman - men, being without vanity, aren't catered for.
* Reflect.com: talking of beauty, this NY-based net-only newcomer stands out among the merchants of glamour by offering only customized products – everything they sell is blended to order, and even comes in a personalised pack with your name on it. "Active ingredient: You".
* BabyPressConference: new online service which brings family and friends together to share the joy of your new baby through a free private website and live internet broadcast (actual quote: "What a blessing to be able to participate from miles away . . . thanks for making this grandma cry… "). Best baby-worshipping idea since the 'Baby On Board' sign joined the dodo.
