Computerlove
If you want to see one of the best integration on the web on the latest cutting edge web application + high quality, I guess it's really been a while. but cpluv answer all your questions. What amazed me is not only very well designed XHTML+CSS valid site, and also, something you can see from Frappr, which connects you within the world of a network together with other really awesome designers, creative and art directors alike. Upon digging into their About section, the site's backend are maintained by the guys from Embassy of Aesthetics. And really cool photo sharing enabled by Woomp! I'm yet to know how far this competes head to head with Flickr's API, but it's promising, on the main page to see a rather dynamic presentation on recent uploaded pictures.
DQBooks
Very beautiful yet minimal approach on building skectchbook. And the work speaks for itself. Self explainatory. Art directed by 1h05, which also responsible for Days in a Day project that takes you through A city's map, which I've seen this 1 year back if i'm not mistaken. (It's rpg-like type of game, but without a specific character)
Refeed : Checking back with Andre Michelle's blog, lots of update on Flex2 & AS3 development. Happy to hear he's invited to Flash Festival's Paris.
Volvo Design
Very unusual, but intuitional and daring implementation of navigation, for such a big company, really, really, exciting. And I guess if this method are being pushed towards the market loudly, it can be a very useful and usable type of website, to stand on it's own, because you're navigation using the logical arrow navigation. Up, down, left and right. And you can zoom in and out. I'm not really sure but I guess it's also heavily influenced from gaming design as well, with the very useful "map" displayed on the bottom right to indicate where they are now. Very nice.
Media Catalyst
Heavily influenced from transitions you always from TV commercials (if you know psyop, you'll know what i mean). Besides from being experimental on the transition, they still maintain lots of usability on the site, content and navigation still remain intact and usable. But I guess by looking at this website, how much % it will impact your site's experience towards the user. See, the transition.
Shave Everywhere
If you wonder how far that Flash Video presentation would take your site, look at this site, and it answers most of your doubt in selling a product, on it's 100% effectiveness. Very smooth site on both platform, tested and one worthy note, there's very little hiccup in between of the loads of the FLVs, very optimized. With this approach, your audience will most of the times feels a lot closer interacting not in only mouse clicks, but, a person that talks to them, telling and educate the audience with the correct message they want to deliver.
Reflets
One of the very best animation work I've seen incorporating Flash8's filters after littleFoot, Prowlies at the river. You'll be amazed by the details and cinematography that is able lives almost up to the 'movie-like' standard. Unique style i would say, a joined effort between Sukiland and Papy3d, i wasn't too much suprised when they're being nominated on both Flashfestival and Brooklyn International Film Festival. Congrats guys. Yes, I still think, Suki's illustration is great as ever, check em out!
Webcam Fluid Dynamics
Certainly, another cool experiment done using Flash 8's new features. and live from gskinner's blog, i saw this... "...This experiment lets you interact via the webcam with particles that behave similar to fluids. They flow downhill, get caught in bowl shapes, and are generally a lot of fun..."
