How Zunafish Works

Stromcode – AJAX: Building a Spy

So this guy works on Glowfoto, another photo sharing site. Hadn’t heard of it until now.

Rosenfeld Media – Publisher of user experience design books

Very interesting mashup for publishing models. Rather than releasing huge door stoppers they will release smaller volumes of content more regularly, and, respond to customer desires rather than purely “what will sell” guess meetings.

VGMap by Eyebeam R&D: Vectored Flash Overlays for Google Maps

This is a great idea and conceivably could integrate with GIS projects.

Eyebeam is a great looking outfit and I believe Jason Kottke has a stint there. Lot’s of very interesting projects.
