I came across a really cool use of Wordpress today at the web site for Firefly Multimedia - one of the better uses of WP as a CMS, with some really great Flash elements also. I always like to acknowledge great sites that impress me, so great job Firefly!

StumbleUpon is a new find of mine for 2006 and I’ve enjoyed using it immensely. It is the ultimate boredom tool (preventing boredom, that is) and it’s easy to waste large amounts of time with it. It’s also good for inspiration and development ideas. There are some really great sites added to stumbleupon.
To use StumbleUpon, just go to their web site and register. You will be sent an email confirmation and instruction to download their browser toolbar. It’s very un-intrusive on your system and you don’t have to worry about it carrying spam, etc. You can edit your profile and choose the web site subjects you are interested in and various other things.
Anytime you are bored and want to surf random web sites, just hit the “Sumble!” button in your toolbar and a ramdomly selected web site will come up. You can contribute to the popularity (and traffic generation) for that web site by giving it either a thumbs-up or thumbs-down (buttons also in the toolbar). You can also stumble on certain categories, keywords, etc. You can also add any sites that you think should be found, just by clicking a button.
All in all it’s a really great, fun tool, you should check it out.

Okay, this is just priceless. My friend Derek showed this website to me: huh. The slogan, We Do Stuff tells it all! At first glance, this site looks like it could be any web design firm’s website. But, start reading the content. You will have an enjoyable experience.
We have really smart people who are always thinking up totally cool shit.
Our female staff members are all hot, so, even if there’s nothing to meet about, we’ll sit and flirt with them, and charge you for the time.
Are you confused yet? Of course you are. And that’s just how we like it. Our marketing professionals are constantly coming up with new ways to make you feel inferior and stupid. Because you are.
Just take a look at the site, and you will see what I mean. I have no idea if this is a legitimate site or not. If it is, its a brilliant way to drive traffic to their site.
