LikeList

Like List create a personal page with your likes and favorites from across the web. You can think of it like about.me except with your 'likes' from various social networks embedded on a Pinterest style page.

Planned Improvements

Infinite scroll, more services, pop out images for a larger view, user thumbnails, personal pages, visuals for tweets with no links and instructions :)

Unfortunately, Facebook doesn't provide a users likes without authentication, which defeats the purpose of having a public like list and Google Plus doesn't have an API for retrieving +1's yet.
