Norwegian developer/designer/photographer Tobias Baeck has just mashed up his various online presences into one powerful package. Strong Flickr photography, a great logo, tons of del.icio.us links, Virb, LinkedIn, etc. Essentially Tobias' blog has great attitude and stands out from your average blog. Via Web creme.

I wonder if this service can keep its promise of helping to create and deliver fantastic email campaigns. But that doesn't really matter when it comes to being listed here on Styleboost. The online home of Mail & go is a true beauty, featuring the same color-scheme as Batman and the elegance of Robin. It simply shows what Mail & go is all about, and it does it with style. It's even got a shiny logo. What's not to love?

This is one portfolio that I would like to eat for dessert. Its blog-like separation of content, tag-like categorization and overall aesthetics makes it stand out from most designer sites. I love the colors and [what I perceive as] the programmer's take on web design. Pretty and functional, but still with a touch of traditional design traditions. Via Web Creme.

A little more than a week ago, one of my favorite tech sites got a major overhaul. In fact, it got a complete overhaul. They changed it all, and they did it with style. This is something disciples of Jakob Nielsen, as well as followers of the Web 2.0 movement will love. It is very well laid out.

Twitter is quite the hype these days. It should also be paid extra attention to by Styleboost users for its superbly crafted and highly customizable interface. There aren't a real big attention to details in the interface, but the way it's so playfully easy to customize without making it look like crap, makes it an example to follow. You can't change everything, but you can make it look yours and look great at the same time. Simply elegant.

This website is an outstanding example of how "Web 2.0" design should be used as an inspiration to create something easily readable, friendly, fresh and beautiful. Notice the use of text, colors, illustrations, icons, rounded corners, gradients, big buttons and the classic stars. My only problem with this one, is that it requires me to read a bit of text to understand what it's all about.

Details, details, details. This one is so glossy and graphics filled that you would think that I'd hate it. But the attention to details just makes this one jump out and kick you in the face. The graphics are great, the illustrations go hand-in-glove with the rest of the design, and the now classic web 2.0 they've pulled out of their hat just left me amazed. Especially after understanding what kind of company this is.

"Better Than A Business Directory." I love the way the really bright orange color is being used throughout the ClickBricks site. Creative Dump are doing a great job with this alternative business directory, and hopefully the site will only grow in usage and contents.

Its inventors claim it's a smarter, fairer and better way of lending and borrowing money. Whether this is true or not, I can't tell you. But I can tell you that its friendly and appealing design definitely strengthens my trust in the business and the idea behind it. It's not the only business of its kind, but it sure is the best designed. In fact, its design beats all finance-related websites I can think of as I'm writing this.

Why I've never added Digg to Styleboost™ before is a mystery to me. It must have slipped my mind as it's too obvious. With all its flaws and controversies, Digg is still the product of the web 2.0 wave that I'm using the most. I use it even more than Flickr. One of the main reasons for why I love it so much is its subtle beauty and ease of use. Making a site like this look so tasty, and at the same time cramming so much functionality into such a simple to use shell is just jaw-dropping. I love digg. And I love what Daniel Burka has done with it.
