@geirarne and @gjermis just launched a super-beautiful redesign of my previous employer @mesen's website. This is so much better than the previous version which I was involved with. The timeline is a great touch and the visual touch they've added to the project photos adds a whole new level to the site. Also love the content strategy and information architecture behind the redesign. Sorry English speakers, this site is in Norwegian only.

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.

The recent Digg reboot has gotten quite a bit of bad press recently, and I don't disagree with most of criticism. Judging by the user uproar and the bad numbers, it's easy to see that this complete rethinking of the service and user interface isn't a huge win for Digg. Still, I find the new site has a quite beautiful user interface. They've also managed to shave off many of the different elements, which is a good thing. It's also much more responsive now, and they've also done cool stuff like this.

The new Think Vitamin has given the site a great boost to the user experience side of things. The use of white space is hot. The same goes for the typography and the color scheme. I'm also very impressed by how beautiful they have made the Disqus comments look. If you like the site, you should read about the new site on Think Vitamin.

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.

Scott Robbin, a developer, and Naz Hamid, a designer made Interhoods. They've worked together for a while, and this site is a way for others to do the same — collaborate, find each other and make magic happen. Seriously beautiful execution of a wonderful idea. I'm eager to see where they're taking this next. Via Ryan Sims.

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.

I think I'll just quote Jason Kottke here: "Want to see the state of the art in web design using web fonts and Typekit? Check out Lost World's Fairs. It's all good, but Frank Chimero really knocked it out of the park with the 1962 Atlantis World's Fair. With HTML5 and web fonts, experimentation with web design seems open and fun again; reminds me of the 90s a bit." Via Kottke.

WebExpo Prague is a Central European gathering of web enthusiasts taking place in Prague (obviously) in a couple of weeks. My favorite parts about this site: The big, bold navigation, the various overlays on the homepage photos and the clear focus on the contents. A job well done by Lukas Plihal, Jakub Bartásek and Vojtěch Bulant.

This Brit has been one of the most influential web designers over the past couple of years as far as pushing for more visually powerful and unusual layouts go. Some of his previous works are truly masterpieces in their own right. When most of the really exciting interface designs lately have been apps, Mike has kept on designing more traditional websites, but at the same time making these really exciting and dazzling at the same time. You should follow Mike on Twitter.
