If you are like me you can get lost for hours flowing between bookmarks, links and recommendations from friends on the web and you're probably looking for a simple organization solution. Recently I've been using Netvibes, a web-based application that "lets individuals assemble all in one place their favorite websites, blogs, email accounts, social networks, search engines, instant messengers, photos, videos, podcasts, widgets, and everything else they enjoy on the Web."
I use it mainly to keep track of my favorite blogs. Users can easily create a split screen that loads all your must-read blogs at once so you can instantly track the latest new and events. A quick click on any of your "headers" launches a new tabbed window allowing full screen browsing. Visit www.netvibes.com to set up your own "curated" homepage.

While most of us sit annoyed waiting for heavily coded Flash websites to load—or perhaps abandon them all together—Pretty Loaded has a different take on this pesky little time frame. Created by the Brooklyn-based digital creative agency Big Spaceship, Pretty Loaded is a curated archive of preloading screens and animations, proving that those few seconds, or minutes, can serve as what they call "short-attention-span-theater."...
Launched earlier this week, SeeHere is the latest entry in the pool of photo sites. Like Flickr, Photobucket and Picasa, SeeHere allows users to upload their photo libraries and share them free of charge. Unlike its competitors, there is no limit on the amount of images you can upload without incurring any fees. The site itself is pared-down and very straightforward (it was designed...
It seems everyone's a part-time blogger these days and finding out exactly where to waste your office work time can be a difficult task. We thought we'd help you take out the frustration out of the guessing game by letting you in on the arrival of the hilarious Bottom Half Nude. Much like the beloved Craplinks, the founders, three Melbourne-based designers (Mary Pearls, Marty...
Some might recognize Lost at E Minor from their frequent contributions to CH, but they also host their own site that covers trends and pop culture from all over the world. The page recently underwent a big overhaul. I was able to speak with founding editor Zolton Zavos, whose desk is conveniently next to mine at Cool Hunting HQ. What led you to create...
