Is there a list somewhere for software that gives a user more privacy regarding 
their meta-data?

If not then here's a three-pronged start:

1) Peer-reviewed, stable:
* Tor - https://www.torproject.org/

2) Not (yet) peer-reviewed(?):
* torchat - https://github.com/prof7bit/TorChat

* torfone - http://torfone.org/

* Bitmessage - https://bitmessage.org/wiki/Main_Page
* Open Transactions - https://github.com/FellowTraveler/Open-Transactions

Note: Open Transactions is quite fascinating-- if I understand it correctly it 
would allow someone
to make a multi-signature Bitcoin transaction that puts coins in the control of 
a pool of Open
Transaction server operators, where m of n of them must agree in order to 
release the coins.
From that point on the user can make transactions through any open transaction 
server with
whatever level of control over their meta-data he/she desires, from 
pseudonymous accounts
to anonymous digital cash transactions with only a timestamp.  The server 
cannot steal the
funds nor forge signatures, and m pool members would need to collude in order 
to steal the funds.

I'd love to hear about whatever I've missed.
