+1 for Blockstack
Try again now, we had a temporary maintenance outage.
For those who are curious, we explain a bit more how it works here: http://blink.am/help
Kindoff...except it doesn't have the standard tools (arrows, text color customization) that you'd expect from a tool for PM's like Skitch. What you will find other features that help preserve context (hotlink blink & selective highlight/crop) and make sharing ad-hoc screenshots faster (blink instant) and more fun (scalable emojis).
Oneshot is great for sharing a snippet of an article via Twitter. Blink is aimed at everything else, providing a way to share content from any app anywhere.
Great article. Joe really nails it. I wrote about an early experience with them, and the resulting lessons learned from watching their evolution here https://medium.com/@adambreckler/its-like-craigslist-but-bet...

What you are describing is similar to the 'intelligence' feature in GA.
Most low-probability, high-impact events are un-predictable by definition. Only in hindsight do they appear obvious. This has to do with many factors such as the narrative fallacy and confirmation bias, which Taleb describes as the Black Swan.
That being said, here a few high-impact (moderately low probability) events that could be on the horizon.
* Northern California Earthquake * Israel v Iran Nuclear Conflict that triggers WW3 * Singularity
