CushyCMS
On TechCrunch last night they featured the CushyCMS, a brand new (in beta) free CMS that really looks great. The way it works is it uses FTP to connect to your site, and you add tags in the CSS. Nothing more!

iStockphoto Credit Calculator
iStockphoto recently launched a subscription plan and allows you to choose a lower monthly rate by purchasing credits daily. I thought that the calculator was nicely integrated. Just type in a new number and wait a moment for the information to update. Click here to see this in action.
Swivel
Swivel is one of the coolest web apps I have seen in recent weeks. It’s a super clean layout and actually useful. It’s a great example of bringing a technology that’s difficult to accomplish to the masses.
Miles Electric Vehicles
The Miles Electric Vehicle web site has a different feel than most EV sites. The all Flash format works well for them, some of the pages are well constructed such as the vehicle specifications.
Towne Center West
Very classy web site. Stuff like this enables leasing agents to charge more dough in my opinion.
POM
I really like how the water drops move in this photo (click to see the animation). Great idea. The guys at Signal vs Noise had a little feature article about the folks that run this company. It’s worth a read. Apparently this bottle is re-usable.

Tom sent me a link to FreeAdvice.com today, and it looks like a great resource. Plus, I like the interface.

I hear there’s a much better Content Hosting Service on the way in October. I’m gonna wait for that one ; )
This is a great beta, but I hope they tweak it even more. Although I was able to edit the parts that I wanted editing, it broke the rest of the page. I am always looking for CMS solutions for my clients. To find a free one is just what some of them needed.
This looks pretty cool. I’m working with some folks on a non-profit site that this kind of thing would be perfect for. Thanks for sharing.
A good way to make some cash with this would be to allow for skinning of the UI so you could personalize it for your own company. That way, clients that are editing content would think it’s your own CMS rather than CushyCMS. 😉
We tried it out on a web site. It works as advertised.
I tried this out and added in the class tags, when it publishes the page, all it does is write out a file that has only the text I edited, the rest of the page content disappears. Not very impressive.

Works for me. What did the company say when you reported this?
I’m more worried about security of giving up ftp password
this looks totally sweet!
