Irish Web Awards

Although nominations for the Irish Web Awards are now closed it’s definitely worth a mention.

I’ll be looking forward to seeing which sites get nominated and shortlisted for the first year of this new award.

Unlike a lot of the other awards out there the Irish Web Awards are very much run as a “not for profit – cover our costs only” type event.

This hopefully will mean that more interesting submissions will be made than those you’re likely to see at a “pay to enter” type event.

Definitely one to watch!

TwitterFone

While I may not like the user interface of Twitter you have to admit that it has spawned some very interesting services.

One of the Irish services to hit the market is TwitterFone, which allows users to interact with Twitter over the phone (hence the name!)

The design is nice and bright and almost playful. Designed by Sabrina Dent.

Beaut.ie Fashion and Style

While I know that I am most definitely NOT in their target demographic, you’d have to be rather foolish to dismiss beaut.ie.

Beaut.ie makes a lovely play on words in the domain name, which caught my eye immediately, while the site’s layout and design is very much aimed at their visitors.

What kind of stuff are you likely to find here?

It seems to cover all aspects of the fashion, beauty and style and is mainly focussed on women.

FluffyLink – The Google Rapid Submission Tool

Damien Mulley has been posting “fluffy links” for as long as I can remember, but he hadn’t registered any domains related to the term.

Enter the Fluffy Link Ulator, which describes itself (very much tongue in cheek) as a “Rapid Submission Tool”.

What does it do?

To be honest, very little.

At present it simply provides direct links to a number of the search engines’ link submission pages.
