NetNewsWire & Haaus
I had been in love with Google Reader for long long time for all my RSS needs. No real need for much extras really, just a simple yet nicely presentable RSS reader would do it for me and everything was 100% right as soon as I discovered the Helvetica theme for Google Reader.
Today though, jumping from post to post, I had the chance to drop on Antonio Carusone’s work (yes I am a big fan of his fantastic Grid System website) and his themes for NetNewsWire found on LegiStyles website.
It didn’t take long for me to fall in love with the Haaus theme and totally abandon Google Reader for a new exciting era of RSS reading!
You still need a Google Reader account, so don’t be that disappointed. Divorce doesn’t come that easy..
Tumblr Stats
TumblrStats is a great little site that helps you collect some really interesting information about your Tumblr blog.
I’ve seen it all around (can’t remember who post it first, sorry!) but An Animated GIF Paranoia by I’m not an Artist is one of the most fantastic webpages someone can visit!
Matterprinted is a new project we started with Aris (hypebin, the Lab Mag, streetgeist), showcasing covers of magazines we had the chance seeing and flicking through. With no particular rules, just judging by cover, we will be uploading favorite magazine covers paying attention to a good tagging system that should hopefully result on a great database for the future.
Support matterprinted by spreading the word and feel free to contact us for suggestions and ideas.
I think I have written about Phresh.gr some time ago in this blog. The idea started as an inspiration blog of four (1, 2, 3, 4) greek creatives and soon a fifth one joined in and a sixth one too!
Here are some words from Phresh itself!
Every day we’re forced to see thousands of images -still or moving- without having the right to choose with aesthetic or even basic eye-pleasing criteria. We resist by being selctive!
Phresh.gr is comprised of 5 individuals with an eye for the visually interesting content, presenting the creme -de-la-creme of imagery found all over the web. To cut the long story short, Phresh.gr is sharing it’s inspiration forces with the world. How Generous is that?
Why not visiting the site yourself?
Sure, you will find lots of inspirational works, images, photographs and videos. Phresh is here to stay!
Wow. Sometimes, every now and then you come to discover amazing things on the internet, like this great video by Takuya Hosogane.
Can’t stop watching it.

Thesixtyone is a great platform for musicians, a place where they can advertise their music, sell merchandise and contact their fans. Great idea, fantastic navigation and interface.
On thesixtyone, new artists make music and listeners decide what’s good. We’re nurturing a growing ecosystem where talented folks can sell songs and merchandise directly to their fans. Unlike a record or distribution deal where they only make $1-2 per album (if they ever get paid, that is), artists on thesixtyone make at least $7 per album and are paid every 30 days — no wait for recoupment and no complex royalty schemes!
We’re named after Highway 61, a U.S. route that runs along the Mississippi River and marks the origin of American music culture. Muddy Waters, Bob Dylan and B.B. King rode the 61. Elvis grew up in the housing projects along it. Highway 61 was the road by which people left their homes to take their music to the world.

Flavors.me is a great idea/ website that is still in beta version. What it does is that it collects multiple accounts from someone’s online presence and puts them all together to a homepage that is very nicely designed.
Still in beta so expect extra features in the future. Well done!
Another series of posters/ images designed by Hulk4598, this time about all some social web services. Great style and clever taglines. You can see the flickr pool by following this link.
I had been a fan reader of Grafik for some time while I was in UK. Truth is, I kind of stopped buying it because of its high price and nothing else. The whole publication is great, the paper is fantastic and (which is the reason for writing this post too), its covers have always been amazingly inspiring.
As for the last 6 issues, Grafik has a new style for its covers, some illustrations that I can’t stop looking at. Great colors, simple forms and minimum typography.
This is definitely a great direction to magazine cover design. I really can’t wait to see what’s coming in the future.
Have a look at the Grafik website (which is pretty new and we had been waiting for it for ages!) and subscribe to the blog which kindly shares some great content for all of us!
A nice video about Google’s history throughout the years. A company that has changed our everyday internet life and still keeps surprising us with more and more..!
Nassos K., cpil, katrinpi & spyros_vj are the four contributors of a new and fresh idea/ website called Phresh. A great collection of inspirational images, videos and thoughts; an attempt that I was extremely happy to see that is happening in Greece although it can definitely be considered as a universal idea.
We wish them all the best and we are going to be checking them daily!
Hold your breath & check back again soon, cause we’re gonna be your browser’s homepage.
