The Second Cup web site is really quite marvelous. It’s got a great design that’s all divided into frames segments. Quite interesting.

About a week ago I was telling the rest of the team at Tornado that there should be a Digg for all of the bills and decisions being considered in Washington. Nobody really thought it was a good idea. I guess it was.

The web team for Southwest.com deserves praise. Look how beautiful and usable their web site is! It’s amazing. Especially when you begin to compare it to the American Airlines web site (or most of the other airlines, for that matter). “We have a ‘strategic’ plan. It’s called doing things.” — Herb Kelleher, founder Southwest Airlines…

Montrail sells a variety of sports equipment for everything from whitewater rafting, ice climbing, skiing, and a bunch of other outdoor activities. I like how the site throws you into a photo sensation. It really makes me think they get “sports.”

The Gatorade web site is really cool. What do you think? Of interest is the fact that the slogans for Gatorade and eBay are a little bit close: Gatorade: Is It In You? eBay: You can get It on eBay Then there’s this.

I’ve always wanted to own a Lensbaby but haven’t gotten around to getting one. I’ve seen friends who have them and they’re really cool. Ben just showed me their new web site and it really rocks — love the background colors and the way they did the photos of the products.
