Hoosgot - The return of LazyWeb (in spirit)
Hoosgot is a little project by the guy that started Tenchorati, David Sifry, who found himself with too much holiday time on his hands as he was reminiscing about the good old days of the LazyWeb.

Hoosgot will then scoop up your tweet/post and throw it up for the world to see. And, if the world is feeling generous that day, you may get an answer or some replies to your question by other people who are paying attention to Hoosgot.

However, there is a lingering sensation that suggests that this is kind of what Twitter and a few other sites do already, without the picture of outer space.
