Okay so this week was one hell of a week for us. The buildup towards our Beta release, getting the first users in, first feedback, first controversy about autotweets, our Pre-PICNIC event… and then PICNIC08 at Hot 100, Virtueel Platform, our Jailbreaking PICNIC gig and… getting invited by Amazon’s VP and CTO Werner Vogels, on stage at his PICNIC keynote in the main conference hall.

These sources can come from anywhere at all. As designers we’re inspirable by anything we might encounter, so here are their web counterparts.
