Dan Pink on the surprising science of motivation | Video on TED.com
It's not (just) because he's another Dan - in my opinion, he does a fantastic amount of research, and distills it into nicely consumable bits for "the rest of us." Great snapshot of his most recent work.
"Career analyst Dan Pink examines the puzzle of motivation, starting with a fact that social scientists know but most managers don't: Traditional rewards aren't always as effective as we think. Listen for illuminating stories -- and maybe, a way forward."

This Flash app doesn't use realtime data, but it's an interesting aggregation and prediction of quite a lot of data sources. If you're doubting there is a business market for Consumer-facing Social Media, take a look at this app.

EtherPad Blog: Google Acquires AppJet
A mini-uprising occured when it was announced that Google was acquiring AppJey (makers of EtherPad). With any luck, Wave will take the best of what EtherPad offered, and fold within Wave. Personally, I prefered EtherPad for it's simplicity, speed, and lack of a walled garden/beta/preview - but of course that will change over time as Wave becomes fully public.

Cisco: ‘Why vlogging is better than blogging’ | Socialmedia.biz
Cisco has had a much longer history of interest in video than this author seems to understand, but nonetheless, interesting viewing. We're only beginning to get the power of video - not just for video professionals, but for "the rest of us."

Google Wave - SAP Gravity - Process and Collaboration
If you haven't seen/heard about the SAP Gravity (lab-only at this time) demo within Google Wave, you really need to read up on this. It is, by far, the most interesting purpose-specific collaboration example I've seen, powered by the underlying "stack" of Google Wave. Interesting implications and powers of "bots" to assist process creation, troubleshooting, etc..
