Someone once told me that Drupal (as well as other standard or open source platforms) always turns websites into standard looking discounted off the shelf looking sites with poor user journeys. In short: ugly and annoying websites. Well, I decided to give it a go when setting up my first online venture, a webstore selling Danish designed fashion aimed at plus size women in the UK. Launching last week I think we have done a fairly good job so far. We still have some bugs to fix and loads of improvements to make, but feel free to get inspiration on kurvs.co.uk.
Other features - ecommerce file purchase + a Flash music preview. Auto import from Twitter, blogs from Tumblr and friends from Facebook. Originally using Simplenews, but now using Facebook for messaging the masses....also, only facebook fans have access to the free track...
The town of Genoa (Italy) in the last few years has focused his attention on digital media and the "web 2.0" phenomenon, realizing several interesting activities under the Genova Città Digitale (i.e. Genoa Digital City) project. Among those: the The Genoa Municipality Channel on YouTube, the Genoa on Facebook network, the Genova HUB on MySpace and the creation of a network of WiFi hotpots all over the city.
