    wat to say…. a weird approach ;) to run a website

  • Travis November 13, 2009

    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/

  • Alex Flueras November 13, 2009

    Excellent article. Thanks!

  • Stephen Bates November 14, 2009

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

  • snlr November 14, 2009

    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).

    Interesting article. Thanks!

  • uberdesigner November 15, 2009

    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).
