Web Intents is a new project designed to solve the problem of web application integration. Inspired by Android's intent system, it allows developers to build features without needing to integrate with every possible 3rd party service. Web Intents lets users choose their preferred service for actions like image editing or sharing. The project has been revised with a simplified API to make integration easier for developers, requiring minimal code. Service registration is done via a new tag, and client initiation is also streamlined. Check out the examples at http://examples.webintents.org/ and share your thoughts as we work with Mozilla to refine this game-changing approach to web development.

I'm looking for a few web services that don't seem to exist yet. First, a way to save my Twitter favorites to Instapaper (or similar services). Second, a webhook that sends content to Instapaper, as I dislike relying on third-party app integrations. Finally, a service that sends full RSS feed content directly to my email inbox in near real-time using pubsubhubbub. Existing services only send partial archives. If I can't find these, I might build them as open-source projects.
