Image Mechanics is a two person mobile app development studio based in Sydney, Australia. They have done some unusual tricks with the website interface that I think are there to convince potential clients that they are truly intent on producing great mobile app experiences. I really like how they show off their process through the use of in-action photos.

The "20 Things" site is very pretty, very well executed technically and all in all a very impressive package by Fi. But at the same time I can't help myself from hating the site a little bit for repeating many design antipatterns. iBooks is not a great interface for reading books. Flash is not a great interface for websites. To me it looks like those were the main inspirations for the design. To sum up my view: It's a cool site, but I hope this is not the future of the web. (I feel bad for being so negative about a site that I post here. Styleboost is all about inspiration, not trash talk. Still, I had to get this off my chest.)

Mavic is a french manufacturer of high-end bike systems and rider’s equipment. The site demands very high bandwidth, but the reason for this is the fact that they're showing off very high quality close-ups of their products. This is exactly the right thing to do in a situation such as this. They are selling expensive gear to pros and high-end enthusiasts who are likely to be very picky and therefore very interested in knowing exactly what they buy. I also love that they've put the logo at the bottom right.

Cognition is Happy Cog's space for sharing thoughts on design, experience, code and more. Even though the design of the site is very well done with a great color scheme and wonderful navigational aspects, the most outstanding part of the site is the way they've implemented Twitter as the main interface for article comments.

Bureau is Thibaut Sailly's UX blog. The site is beautifully designed, making great use of white space and a fluid design that responsively adapts to browser width. Awesome, inspirational stuff.

This marketing website for Sony's Internet TV that is powered by Google TV is very slick. Who would have known that a tilt shift video featuring tiny people in front of a huge TV could be so hypnotizing. This is one of a select few campaign sites of its kind that actually impresses me and made me browse its contents.

With a brand new Digg and a hot new Think Vitamin, it's obvious that I should also post my favorite site redesign ever which is #newtwitter. I absolutely love what Vitor Lourenço, Doug Bowman and Zhanna Shamis have done with the site. So many people much smarter than me have weighed in on the new design already, and almost everybody seems to love it. Especially the fact that it feels so much like a desktop app. Read more about the Twitter redesign over at Quora.

Rumpetroll aka ass trolls is an impressive social experiment by @danielmahal, @hpeikemo, @hugoahlberg and @simenbrekken. This is a very good example of what can be achieved with emerging web standards. This site a chat room disguised as a beautiful pool of cute little tadpoles.The technology behind the scenes is a mix of HTML5 Canvas, WebSockets, JavaScript and CSS 3. The project is open and hosted on github.

Very impressive work by the Get Satisfaction team. The Wheel of Satisfaction on the home page is especially awesome. I love how they made the site look very different from most Silicon Valley webapps. It's got tons of personality, and that's a good thing.

Vivi Kola, The Swiss Original Since 1938 has a sugary sweet CSS + jQuery interface. There's lots of scrolling involved here, but the unusual look, feel and layout makes for an enjoyable experience. A job well done by Hinderling Volkart.
