I was kinda bummed when linkdup stopped updating, but now I'm happy that it's stuck in the past. Good resource.

Those new template fuckers will go down, too.
Next step: Delivering content with plain, semantic markup, let the displaying device care for styling (Like the reader in iOS).
No more small online shops, just a system with a connection to amazon or whatever place is best. No more styling, only content and function.

Because everyone uses templates now and they were just featuring the same shit everyday.

Surfstation and Stereotypography were my first ports-of-call back when they were up.
I remember LOVING Thomas Brodahl's work - thought his style was the best around.
I also remember visiting holodeck73, designiskinky and k10k regularly (around 1998/99). Golden days. :)

Because functionality has deconflated with and trumped artistry.

What was the designer's name who designed his black plastic tower with his logo embossed on it, and had a hidden tray slide out with a brochure and CD inside it?

Bring back newstoday (complete with the sound). that time webdesign/digital was so exciting. It was really an explosion of creativity, experimentation, people trying to figure out what can be done. Now, to use that article's title, design is all dribbblified. Shit that looks nice but that's pretty much it. Shit's boring

@mekk nah next step is googles knowledge vault displaying answers in search so you dont have to click through to sites. theyre intent on making an answers engine and have been working towards it since mid 2000s. rumor has it that on 21st april they'll switch off knowledge graph and move to vault... might even mean links arent a factor any more... we'll see what happens.
- kinda what I sad; the device in this case would be googlemekk

don't think it has anything to do with templates. They just had their day. It was more to do with experimentation with a v.new medium.

how many designers does it take to change a lightbulb? 1 to change the bulb and 99 to say how good the old one was.

The day of the design star is gone. Nowadays, right or wrong, the "star" is how much you can get out of your efforts, so SEO, social media, etc., are the new stars.
Sad, really, but part of the evolution of the web. Now it is about profitability, so we have generic website with a million ads. "Monetization" has become a common word, when back then no one really knew what that meant.
There were some good ones back then. Good, inspiring times...now we live in the world of "mobile" and "money", though neither really seem to have improved anything.
- Yup. That's why I never rejoiced at the death of flash. It has been the death of a culture more than a technology.ORAZAL
