Beautiful 2D Navigation

Love the browse-by-relevance feature. Why isn’t the History Channel’s website like this only with videos and maps? How come the people with the ad/subscriber revenue have a crappy experience and the donation-funded national archives has a super-slick, multi-dimensional and intuitive interface? Missed opportunities…

Photoshop Express (Px)

Muxtape.com is a super simple way to create and share mixtapes. So simple in fact that there are no fast forward/rewind/stop/play buttons on the “player” interface, just a list of songs in the mixtape. UI issues aside, I think this is a great little way of exploring new music in the form of a mixtape. [...]
