The Web’s Cutest URL Shortening Service Moourl.com
I know I know, I’m a guy and the word “cute” shouldn’t be in my vocabulary. Well if I ever needed to use the word cute to describe anything, it would have to be moourl.com. It’s a URL shortening service with an actually bearable design to it. Beautiful vectors and color scheme, I love the site!
Interview with a Digg.com Software Engineer Kurt Wilms
As a web designer myself, I have found that other web designers I talk to always have favorite websites they go to for inspiration. Not saying they want to copy a specific website, but there are just some site’s that “stick” and really inspire you to create web designs.
Interview with is.gd URL Shortener
New URL Shortening services hit the web every week it seems. I can remember not too long ago when TinyURL was just starting up, and that hit with a huge bang.

However, only a select few have really succeeded to hit mainstream popularity and be of any use.
Interview with ThisWebHost – An Impressive new Web Hosting Company
Finding a decent web hosting company today is difficult. So many companies overprice, can’t keep uptime promises, have horrible support, or offer you barely any space to store your site’s files and content.

Omegle.com has spread across many social networking hubs, forums, and internet chatrooms rapidly over the past few months. It’s a new site with a very simple concept: you log in anonymously and talk to someone else. Someone random, someone you’ve *probably* never even met before, just talking about whatever.

Behind the Scenes at Posterous.com: Filesharing Made Easy
Sharing files over the internet used to be a devilish task. Finding the right application, storage space, or transporation method for files used to be very difficult only 5 years ago.

Interview with PSDFan’s Designer and Blogger Tom Ross
Finding good tutorials on web design and development can be tough these days. Although so many people have and use Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and all of the creative suite, there are very few that know how to utilize the tools properly and create astounding designs.
Interview with CollegeHumor’s Designer Anna Hiort
I’ve gotten my fair share of laughs from all of the hilarious content on the internet today.
