   * Current add/remove - http://sydney.indymedia.org.au/files/sydimc/images/ubuntu-add-remove.img_assist_custom.png
   * Miro - as discussed, this is a really nice, engaging example of a discovery/management platform (http://www.getmiro.com/download/screenshots/)
   * torrent browser - boring, but I like the way "state" is clearly handled, although miro has cleaned this whole idea up and presented it nicely (http://images.snapfiles.com/screenfiles/uTorrent.gif)
   * hulu desktop - a nice discovery platform, and relatively novel browsing interface (http://www.freewaregenius.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/hulu-desktop-screenshot6.jpg)
   * netflix online - nice job with grouping and presenting items for browsing in an engaging and actionable way (http://www.hundred10.com/img/screen-netflix1.jpg)
