CushyCMS and UserVoice - found two great web applications in the same day
Paying attention to my daily feeds I found a new web application called CushyCMS. CushyCMS allow users to edit web content WITHOUT the necessity of installing any third party CMS software on the server. For existing sites and small projects this seems life a fabulous tool. It seems to be be dead simple to use and setup. I watched the 5 minute intro and found out most of what I needed to know! On the technical side, the designer/developer simply includes a class on any of the DOM objects that he or she wants the editor to be able to edit. CushyCMS parses the contents (accessing your site through FTP) and only allows the editor to edit the content areas you have designated. Seems sharp, and easy to use.
When providing some feedback about CushyCMS I found that they were utilizing another new web application called UserVoice.
UserVoice looks like a simple bug tracking and user feedback program that allows the user to tell you what problems are most important to them. I had a few problems logging in the first time, but other than that, the program seems to work well, allowing even anonymous users to vote on which issues they are seeing as problems or features that need to be added. When developing my next web application, I may look to this app to get at my user base.

Hi Chris –
Found your post this morning and thought I should share with you that UserVoice has been in private beta - but will be launching later this week. Perhaps you'd care to have a beta-invite and give us your feedback on the app? Let me know.
