Cool Hunting
Have a site you want to share with the community of Cool Hunting readers? Utilizing del.icio.us we now have a way for you to do it quickly and easily. Here's how it works:
1- Create an account at del.icio.us.
2- Add the bookmarklets to your browser.
3- Bookmark a site and be sure to use the 'extended' field for a brief description of the site (use the description field for the title). Most importantly, add the tag for:coolhunting, this is how your bookmark will appear in our Reader Contributions section (in the middle column on the home page).
You'll notice that the name of the site links to the site itself and your del.icio.us account name will appear linking to all your del.icio.us bookmarks.
Please respect this feature. If you don't, I'll blacklist you.

The newly launched website, Tryphone provides the ultimate assist in purchasing a new mobile phone, allowing for test drives of different models on their site through a virtual interactive design. Clicking on buttons gives a sense of the user interface and functionality, just choose which phone you'd like to try from their surprisingly well-stocked inventory. Also featuring reviews and side-by-side comparisons, it's a good...
The grey-haired among us can remember when customer service lines employed human operators on the frontlines rather than the sycophantic automated phone system that leads the customer through byzantine corridors toward dead-ends or endless loops. Negotiating these labyrinths and reaching a live human being in a call center in some far-off land is often the hardest part of the journey toward customer satisfaction. Whether...
We all know that a well-designed interface can improve productivity, so Portfolio Magazine recently approached three top design firms—IDEO, thehappycorp, and Ziba Design—to re-design a fantasy interface that could replace the existing Bloomberg interface.
