Nice Niche Social Network
Dailymile.com does a good job of creating a valuable tool for runners, triathletes, and cyclists. The user-friendly interface, makes it easy to keep track of personal training progress and promotes interacting with other like-minded people. It also integrates very well with Facebook, which gives athletes more support from friends and family and brand exposure for dailymile every time progress is posted.

I know this has done the rounds already, but it’s refreshing to see a major publication pushing forward like this, rather than just complaining about the decline of print.
I don’t think print will ever really die, but for journalistic type publications, it’s a fast sinking ship unless they’re adopting a mentality like sports illustrated appear to be doing.

jQuery Masonry
Masonry is a layout plugin for jQuery. Think of it as the flip side of CSS floats. Whereas floating arranges elements horizontally then vertically, Masonry arranges elements vertically then horizontally according to a grid. The result minimizes vertical gaps between elements of varying height, just like a mason fitting stones in a wall. (via Konigi) -
Iain Lamb’s Typograph
This is cool tool that allows you to explore the relationship between scale and rhythm by modifying the properties of typographic elements in a page of sample text. It sets out to explore how two, intertwined concepts, often playful but sometimes cheeky, can be encouraged to dance in web pages. Drag the colored boxes along the scale to throw these words anew. For the most part, this text is just a libretto for the performance you are about to play upon it.” (via konigi) -
