Have to agree with Jason here on his 2008 Election Maps comparison, The New York Times had the best interactive Election Map last night. It’s not evident in the pic, but you were able to click on the state and zoom into county results, a la John King.

BBC slams one out with their interaction-rich, user customizable site redesign.

Facebook added something recently that many people may have never noticed before or always thought was there. At the login screen you’ll now notice a little “Remember Me” checkbox that allows a user to keep their login information saved on their computer so they can by-pass the login screen on future visits.

Gonna call shenanigans on Mozilla’s marketing team here.
“Firefox 2’s theme and user interface have been updated to improve usability without altering the familiarity of the browsing experience. For instance, toolbar buttons now glow when you hover over them.”
I’ve never thought to myself “what toolbar button am I hovering over? I wish this browser would give [...]
