Some of them are here http://twitterex.com http://reduce.li http://twitexplode.com

One pattern in all these, I lose interest and they fizzle out. So, if i could pose a question here, how do you keep yourself motivated?

Do you have customers? Co-developers? Or are you just working on your own?

Are you struggling to get traction? If so, use analytics (AB testing?) to figure out how to get more customers.

If you are just setting stuff up to satisfy your own curiosity (be honest), then it's quite rational to lose interest once the problem is solved.

i start off with enthusiasm and lose it at some point. For atleast one of the projects, I do think something worthwhile can come of it, that's twitterex.com. i am not sure how to go about doing AB testing on a simple site like that
