Re: Unidentified Spider
It looks like a funnel web to me. Agelenidae. I don't know what kind, though. I found only one picture on the net that looked exactly like yours, and it labeled it a "mystery spider." But the picture had him near a funneled web, and the features look similar to other funnel web spiders, so maybe...
(I'm not great at identifying spider species, unfortunately).

Re: Unidentified Spider
These don't build webs. They're hunting spiders. Someone says it's some sort of water spider, which makes sense, since I've seen them running across water.

Re: Unidentified Spider
Hmmm... The coloring is similar to Dolomedes spiders, but the body shape and eyes are all wrong... Could it be a female Shore Spider (Pardosa Milvina)?
You could submit the picture here: What's That Bug: Even More Spiders 2007 and see if they can identify it for you.
