It's always pretty hot! Some still around - like Kapow, Connotate, Mozenda, ScraperWiki (which I run). Some not - Needlebase.

Portia is more interesting because it is an open source scraping GUI - the GUIs tend to be very proprietary.

I also wrote http://scrape.ly, which let's you write web scrapers via a URL syntax.
