A Bajillion Web 2.0 Sites - Reviewed

Flockin' Awesome!
Flock keeps getting better and better. Besides already having one of the best browser interfaces, the latest builds of Flock have added a choice when ‘starring’ a site of sharing with everyone (via the social bookmarker of your selection) or only between your computers. In addition, in just creating this post, I see that they are starting to do some heavy refacing of the blogging window. If you aren’t on Flock, you’re missing out!

What if your blanket had sleeves? The Slanket does!

CNN Goes Wide!
CNN has a fantastic new layout that is standards-compliant, wide and beautiful. The new site is 980 pixels wide. WooHoo. I’m for anything that aids in stretching web users expectations of what a site is. Monitors are wider, let’s use them.
Umbrella tells you when to grab it
This awesome umbrella was in this month’s WIRED mag. It receives radio signals that tell it what the chance of rain that day is, then blinks it’s blue handle to communicate that you to you. See the umbrella blinking madly near the door on the way out? Better take it with you!

PopURLs
There’s a lot of pages out there trying to be the perfect page to set your browser home page to. PopURLs is about the best I’ve seen. It pulls in all of the top headlines/links, etc from sites like Digg, Del.icio.us, furl, and flickr.
