This “time capsule” post from 2012 lists some useful tools like MyPermissions, SocialMention, and HackerFollow that are now defunct.
Three Useful Tools:
MyPermissions, SocialMention, HackerFollow
MyPermissions (was http://mypermissions.org/) Checks for third party application access to your Facebook, Twitter, Google, Yahoo, LinkedIn, Dropbox, Instagram, and Flickr accounts.

HackerFollow (was http://hackerfollow.com/) follow comments and posts by your favorite Hacker News contributors. Created by Eric Kerr (@ErickErr) and Ben Gilbert (@Gilbert)
- I now use HNReplies.com Created by Dan Grossman for this.
