Yahoo Time Capsule
Yahoo is doing a project where they let people from all over the world submit pictures and video and such, and then they will treat it like a "timecapsule" for future anthropologists.
The timecapsule idea is a bit weird (are they engraving this? or building a 10,000 year lasting server?), but I love the idea of creating interesting ways for people to collaborate and discuss and create "content" online. Social networks are getting boring.
Oh, and the UI is funky too:
(Yes it really swirls around the way you imagine.)
