Browse Goods is an interesting shopping site with a twist: you browse around a world of products like you would browse places on Google Maps. Zoom into product departments, span across categories, get a closer look at products, and add markers on your favorite products. It’s an interesting interface, certainly fun, but it’s a bit overwhelming. I can see it being helpful for some, but personally, I like basic interfaces that let you sort by price, ratings, date, and so on. (via)

Just a quick note that Virb, a new social network that’s got me excited, has launched today. I was accepted into the private beta a couple months ago and its really come a long way. It’s beautifully designed, has great iTunes integration, and has got a little bit of everything in there. Perhaps what I like most is how customizable the profiles are. Be sure to check it out!

swfIR is a new Flash replacement technique that replaces and adds visual effects to images on the fly using simple JavaScript. It’s similar to the the popular Flash text replacement technique, sIFR. You can, without physically editing an image, set borders, shadows, alpha transparencies, blurring, rotation and more to any image on your website. Pretty neat! (via Mike Davidson)
