reBlog.org: reBlog, the software behind Eyebeam, is now available as an open source software project, so you can start your own version.

GameTab: A PC/console gaming portal that is actually well done (aka not like the other cookie-cutter gaming sites that are all seizure-inducing and/or ultra-futuristic), easy to read, well organized, and has interesting aggregated information (such as ratings averages/differentials for specific game reviewers.)

A Near-Perfect Flash News Portal: People are nitpicking this site under entirely unfair assumptions and agendas, and not looking at the site in the context of its audience: newly converted broadband customers.

Wellvetted: Wellvetted has its special edition for sites of the year up; highlights include intentionallies, ecotonoha, Road Runner portal, wefail, OurType, Ladislav Sutnar, “Lost In Space” by Don Austin, hoogerbruge, 777run, and the Body Movies installation.

Design by Fire Design Exercise: Google’s Search Results: I wish there were open depositories of CSS files that people could use to override a site’s CSS. If I could choose a better skin for particular site and be able to use it all the time, I probably would.

Basecamp: The sneak previews for milestones and to-do lists in Basecamp look very intriguing, possibly something that may surplant my own crappy system which involves a mixture of paper notebooks, e-mailing myself notes, and adding links in my Lazyweb. (See also: The ideal idea database)

Accessible Information Solutions (AIS) – Accessibility Toolbar: An amazingly handy set of tools for designing and coding Web pages, effectively surplanting all my accessibility bookmarklets; includes validation checks, changes window sizes, and checks styles, images, colors, document structure, and meta information.

I am beginning to enjoy my array of available posting purgatories, along with the public transparency and cross-pollination of links and sources. Now I can have multiple levels of filtering, yet I (and everyone else) can see the original sources, such as my personal editorial process: scan all the content sources (bloglines.com/public/magnetbox), filter out the interested portions (del.icio.us/magnetbox), and decide what the general public gets to see (magnetbox.com).

I can’t help but think it would be amazing if content sources (news organizations?) did sort of the same idea, so that people could decide for themselves what level of news/filtering fits them best.

The Daily Standards: Dedicated to recognizing sites that have been lovingly crafted with web standards and the future in mind. (See also: CSS Vault)
