Inspired simplicity

As an artist I take time every day to keep my viewpoint fresh and I'm always delighted to find things that are truly unique.

Things that stand out for their utter simplicity. Or usefulness.

Here is a site that completely captured my admiration.



Why? It's just such a remarkably brilliant idea.

Most people are now familiar with and use any number of sites such as MySpace, Facebook , LinkedIn or others. They have been given a term called social networking. They all provide a platform for sharing music, photos, jobs, or organizing events, calendars, projects.

There are hundreds of them now.

This site is different. It is nearly oriental in it's simplicity.

Like the rendering of a bamboo & leaves with 3 strokes of a sumi-e pen.

You go to the site. Enter your name and off you go.

There is no registration form as you normally see it. The process is smoothly folded into the flow of using the site.

A real pleasure to use, and I personally predict this site is going to be a huge success.
