They are InCircles and Medium. The former is something you install in your site (see the sidebar) and it allows people to chat while visiting it (to you or each other), the later is an extension to your browser that shows friends and other bits and pieces for the site you are visiting. Sort of site based dynamic social networks.

I have to admit though I still haven’t really got my head around Me.dium (although it looks like it might do something quite clever!!!), the InCircles client on the other hand is pretty transparent and easy to use. Interesting concepts.
