I just couldn't let this pass uncommented. Today I stumbled upon this website for Lana Landis (some pin-up I never heard of), and the web design was soooooo very familiar. On my computer I found a screenshot of a site that was really hot two years ago, Altoids (today they have changed the design, but check out my screenshot below). Embarrasing or what?
Finally vacation! Today I started off my four-week summer vacation truly browsing the web, clicking y way from one site to another, and have endad up with a nice list of links with inspiration for web designers. (Note: today was a rainy day in Stockholm) Anyway, here are the links:

We’ve just thrown the switch on the next step in the evolution of DailyMe – our DailyMe.com news destination.
This user-centric web destination brings the DailyMe experience to an even broader audience through three distinct editions:
• DailyMe, our original, personalized service;
• DailyWe, where stories are ranked by the community; and
• Top News, selected by our DailyMe editorial team.
All three editions include the robust content, both licensed and user-generated, that users of our DailyMe service have enjoyed for some time. They also bring together many of the technology components we’ve built: our personalization application, delivery platform, advanced news search, rules and processes for importing and classifying content, and RSS feeds. And, of course, users can continue to read licensed news stories without ever leaving DailyMe.
The three editions can be selected via tabs on the DailyMe homepage, where Top News will be the default. (Of course, existing users will continue to receive their DailyMe personalized edition without interruption across all delivery options.)
We’ve been working on this launch for some time and are very excited about the new site. So please test out our new editions and do let us know how you like them.

We think it's high time we celebrated the launch of DailyMe's public Beta.
So, DailyMe is teaming with Mashable’s US Summer Tour 2008 to put on the official DailyMe Launch Party. The event will held on Saturday, Aug. 2 from 7-10 pm at the Opium Garden at 136 Collins Ave, Miami Beach, FL. We'll be at South Beach’s hottest club with drinks, appetizers, models and, of course, what would a Miami party be without the beach!
If you're going to be in South Florida that week, please join us. You'll have an opportunity to meet with the DailyMe team -- including Eduardo, Neil & me - as well as others whose names you might not know yet but whose efforts have been critical to the successful launch and development of DailyMe.
So stop by and celebrate with us! Information on how to get tickets will be made available over the next several weeks.
