Webby 2--Commerce, Community

[summercomfort]

The next chunks. I am a webdesigner's nightmare: 28.8, 600x800, Netscape, impatience

Commerce
CafePress.com http://www.cafepress.com
Clean, clear-cut, pretty easy navigation.
GORPtravel.com http://gorptravel.gorp.com/
Small text, mediocre color-usage, but organization not *too* bad.
Half.com http://www.half.com/
reminds me of amazon, but not as confusing. (great buys, btw)
mySimon http://www.mysimon.com/
hey, I like this concept. tiny bit of horizontal scrolling, though. consistent colors
Travelocity http://www.travelocity.com/
horizontal scrolling, the yellow on the side a little too glaring.
Leading Write-in: Amazon http://www.amazon.com
obviously no grass-roots effort here, either. Amazon is famous enough.

Community:
Beliefnet http://www.beliefnet.com/
very pretty. Not terribly fast loading. evil popup. Good design, concept, and organization.
Chickclick http://www.chickclick.com/
Okay articles, not too bad. Sort of narrow view, though. (requires registration. ugh)
craigslist http://www.craigslist.com/
tailored to bay area, good list, ugly design
kuro5shin http://www.kuro5hin.org/
cute, good layout, perhaps a little too much scrolling, but like the message-board style
{fray} http://www.fray.com
good concept, good organization, too tired to look further
Lead Write-In: LiveJournal http://www.livejournal.com/
it's livejournal that brought me to Webby. it *is* a great community, but tough competition!
