Embedding Social Media Channels in Modern Web Design

Well the Twitter stream integration is almost a standard these days when designing a portfolio website, but there are some brands with a more complex view when it comes to social media integration. Here are four brands with entire websites built over Wikipedia, Flickr, Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. Enjoy and leave your suggestion in the comments.

Good round-up, but I’ll add a couple points. It’s “Crispin Porter + Bogusky”, and if I’m not mistaken, the first site to use this social approach was Modernista = http://modernista.com/

Great collection. I love the one that looks like it was inspired by the TweetDeck UI!

Personally, I don’t like any of the sites. None seem like a great solution for something. They’re like framesets. Back in the 90s there was a trend to make navigation menus literally look like remote controls. That’s what these seem to strive for. Except for cpbgroup.com, which seems to follow the concept of aggregator services (pageflakes, netvibes).

Personally, I don’t like one of the sites. Not a bit seem like a horrible solution in lieu of something. They’re like framesets. Back in the field of the 90s nearby was a trend to tell somebody to navigation menus factually look like remote controls. That’s I beg your pardon? These seem to strive in lieu of. Excepting in lieu of cpbgroup.Com, which seems to be an enthusiast of the thought of aggregator services (pageflakes, netvibes).
