Let me give you my opinion on this, case by case. Overall, a blog post with interesting ideas, but I think you surfed on the too early and with a bit too little thought.
 * Snitch: I love this one. Even though I'd like to see a visible and audible ping rather than one of the two...
 * Beacon: Horrid. While the idea of a capturable ward is okay, the idea that most melee champions won't even be able to touch it is just really, really bad. Better use a capture system like Dominion.
 * Observer: Not too bad, but its range is way too hard to exploit, especially considering how easy it is to avoid and know where it is.
 * Sentry: Potentially OP as far as vision goes, but the fact that you can just bitchslap it if it's too annoying gives interesting counterplay, even though the fact that it moves makes it unlikely that anyone escapes it.
 * Beholder: A pink ward with odd functions...
