After browsing the the internet for awhile, I found a number of websites and webapps that I thought were intriguing:

roundcube.net This is a free, open source web mail client. It looks quite a bit nicer that the webmail client that we have to use in college!

textpattern.com I have no idea how this CMS compares to others, but the website caught my eye. It is well designed.

dailybooth.com This website looks kind of empty – but click on a picture. It’s just like twitter only you use pictures rather than tweets. I can’t help but think this is a really cool idea.

herway.com I still feel like online dating is a little bit weird, but the way this site gets users to sign up is exceptional. It takes boring forms and turns them into a fun game.

speckleapp.com This is a simple app that allows you to create checklists with multiple checkboxes – I feel like it is up against tough competition – paper and pencil, but you have to admit that not too many sites let you create a dummy account if you don’t feel like registering.

townme.com I couldn’t figure out what townme is by looking at this site, but I thought the site was simple and elegant.

iplotz.com This is a really useful idea for web designers! I wish I had something like this when I was creating web designs for some of my past projects. It allows you to draw out the lines for website design concepts before you jump into creating them.

threadless.com The idea is simple: sell cool t-shirts, but their site design and slogan of “Nude No More” makes them stand out. I wish I had the money to buy a t-shirt.

belongsto.me Now this one is just plain classic. I love this idea. Not sure if it will ever catch on, being that people don’t tend to have time to log all of their belongings, but I might find some spare time on a weekend and look into this one.

ziehlke.com I don’t see personal websites too often, maybe just because they don’t come to the surface in search engines, but this guy’s website is well done and gets his message out there well. I like the way he markets himself.

snipt.net This is a pretty classic idea. As a coder, I understand exactly what the founder was thinking when he made it. However, I can’t see it catching on. Google and notepad make too convenient of a pair. I hope it proves me wrong though.
