- JasonCox, on 12/21/2007, -11/+53Am I the only one who thinks most of those designs are just god awful?
- david76, on 12/21/2007, -2/+39The author doens't appear to get out much. All these site are just little trend kiddie sites. Many of them use very similar visual treatments (can you say gradients?). None are particularly unique or groundbreaking.
- 1337zork, on 12/21/2007, -1/+23Nothing special about them O_o
- timbro1, on 12/21/2007, -4/+24half the websites on this list are lame.
- TubaTechno, on 12/21/2007, -0/+10Can anyone really explain to me why these designs are labeled as "great"?! Most of these are redesign showcases that don't really give a comparison of what they looked like before the redesign.
What a stupid article. - chrismgtis, on 12/21/2007, -2/+10Buried. This is a bit lame.
- panicofficer, on 12/21/2007, -0/+7I was hoping to see some good before and after shots. This just seems to be plugging currently popular sites.
- antoniuk, on 12/21/2007, -4/+11lame ass plugging for digg owner sites... buried
- tgormtx, on 12/21/2007, -0/+6The designs in this article are mediocre at best. Clearly written by an amateur with a hard on for Web 2.0 crap. Oh yeah... buried.
- HiNThere, on 12/21/2007, -9/+15When anyone can put up a website these days, it's great to see examples of how quality design and UI really makes a difference.
- inactive, on 12/21/2007, -3/+9Http://www.ted.com should be on that list
- bosssmiley, on 12/21/2007, -0/+6Seemingly uninspired but clean/elegant designs. I'm ambivalent. When does clean and simple cross the line into obvious, simplistic and/or repetitive?
- OKeric, on 05/12/2008, -1/+6They should have included CNN.com.
- tgormtx, on 12/21/2007, -5/+9No, you are completely right. All of these are lame, underdeveloped Web 2.0 crap or mobile ports of a poorly designed site (Facebook).
- inactive, on 12/21/2007, -1/+5Professionally speaking, there is nothing "award winning" about them. Digging in deeper it seems to be no more than a mere plug for Kevin Rose and his buddies.
More of that "Digg Democracy" at work, I guess - inactive, on 12/21/2007, -2/+5Never heard of Google Documents? Flickr?
- chrisOrbit, on 12/21/2007, -5/+8http://www.thefwa.com/pca2007/
Much better list. IMHO - inactive, on 12/21/2007, -0/+3If you look closer, you will see these examples were created by personal friends of the DIGG founders
- inactive, on 12/21/2007, -0/+3You forgot to include Craigslist
- oslointhesummer, on 12/21/2007, -1/+4They all look the same.
- richardiscool, on 12/21/2007, -2/+5Pownce is completely robbed from Twitter.
- wezman2, on 12/21/2007, -0/+3To stay true to the 'redesign' title, you really do have to consider NFL.com. A juggernaut of a website was vastly improved and provides one of the best sports experiences on the web.
- Chirp08, on 12/22/2007, -0/+2sounds like a site for attacking people, is that what it is?
- inactive, on 12/22/2007, -0/+2both of which suck and have dumb names
- Bonekhan, on 12/21/2007, -0/+2Pssh. I didn't see CNN anywhere.
- keyo, on 12/22/2007, -0/+2Apparently all you need are a few gradients ... and a friend who writes these top 10 padded out lists.
- mulletmusketeer, on 12/21/2007, -0/+2how quickly diggers forget their vows to never visit a cnet site again...
- lseeley, on 12/23/2007, -0/+1These sites all appeared to be designed well, in the sense of web design, not graphic design. I find most "Best Design Websites" often rely on heaving graphic art, instead of actual web design.
- melonhedd, on 12/21/2007, -0/+1BEST SPORTS EXPERIENCES ON THE WEB
- AntoineDigg, on 12/24/2007, -0/+1Even if most of these sites are not ground breaking, most of them are well designed. I find people on Digg to be tough critics, but I'd like to see some of your designs. Please, amaze me with your "ground breaking" designs.
- smart1979, on 12/27/2007, -0/+1Fluther is pretty good. I'm becomming a fan.
- synthoid, on 12/23/2007, -0/+1Your site sucks more ass than Kevin Bacon in a guest starring role on Prison Break.
- Darcy, on 12/21/2007, -1/+2I don't think it matters what sites they chose for the list, people will still criticize them. That's just the nature of the interweb.
- amerz, on 12/31/2007, -0/+1I see I'm not the only one surprised that CNN did not make this list!
- Christia, on 12/21/2007, -0/+1Kudos for not writing greatEST...
- tgormtx, on 12/21/2007, -1/+2Sergei is correct. Ajax and CSS IS Web 2.0. And the majority of the crap on this list is probably made some 23 year old trend following idiot.
- MtheoryX, on 12/22/2007, -0/+1Would be a great list if they showed the site previews as thumbnails like this article did.
- ieatsmurfs, on 12/22/2007, -0/+1most I disagree with, however Facebook for the iPhone is brilliantly designed.
- Christbait, on 12/21/2007, -1/+2Yay for designing your website so it looks a bit like an iPod.
- ewcost, on 12/22/2007, -0/+1this is lame? buried.
- mdavis, on 12/22/2007, -0/+1no myspace??
kidding. - smackhero, on 12/21/2007, -1/+2the only people bitching about web 2.0 are non-web-developers or incompetent ones that don't understand it's just a term describing the natural evolution of web application UIs.
- mhuggins, on 12/22/2007, -0/+1I mostly agree with you, but how is Facebook poorly designed?
- erusf, on 12/21/2007, -0/+1My favorite new site is definitely fluther.com. I'm addicted!
- smacksaw, on 12/22/2007, -0/+1FARK.com is also conspicuously missing from the list.
hahahahaha....just kidding. Unless their goal was to drive away all of their contributing users, further tank that stupid FARK.tv and not sell Drew's lame book. - inactive, on 12/22/2007, -1/+2Stop. Saying. "Web 2.0".
- inactive, on 12/21/2007, -1/+2twitter? are they kidding me, that site still looks like rotten fart
- inactive, on 12/22/2007, -1/+2"Pownce" is a terrible name and offers nothing.
- metik, on 12/21/2007, -0/+0cnn.com did a very good job with their redesign.
- ciaoalexisb, on 01/24/2008, -0/+0Nice article!
