Snipplr
This seems to be generating some buzz…
Snipplr is a public source code repository that gives you a place to store and organize all the little pieces of code that you use each day. Best of all, it lets you share your code snippets with other coders and designers. Did we mention it works with TextMate, too? It’s code 2.0.
Heh. Gotta love the Web 2.0 compliant name.
Also notable, if you write a Snipplr plug-in you could get a free t-shirt.
Update: Check out the note from Tyler about the name in the comments.

A quick word on the name “Snipplr”. Our original, internal name for Snipplr was “Caffeine”. The idea being that caffeine is fuel for coders, but that was way to generic. So we web-two-point-oh-ified it into “Kaffeen.” That lasted for a day until we realized how silly it looked.
So, we brainstormed for a couple hours thinking of what to call our service. “Snippler” was suggested, but we didn’t think we could possibly go for it since it sounds dirty. (s nipple r!)
In the end it grew on us since it has a nice ring to it. Pretty soon the Web 2.0 police knocked on our door and told us we were required to drop the last vowel or else we wouldn’t be listed in Technorati.

Heh, nice. Thanks for the etymology. ;)
Good work on the site BTW. Looks really cool.
