We All Hate Quickbooks is a promo for a web app called Less Accounting. They basically read from twitter anything that contains Quickbooks and post it to their site. Brilliant since it seems that lots of folks have ill will to that piece of software. Or perhaps that since it is so popular it is pretty easy to find a frustrated user group willing to vent on Twitter. Either way it is a great marketing move to call attention to their web application.

The 3-d Flames on resize are a great touch. This effect is called Parallax where transparent png images are placed over each other and offset to give a three-dimensional effect. The cartoon character devil and possibly an angel. The flames are reminiscent of the Silverback vines.

What’s Nice
The founding developer of Wordpress Matthew Mullenweg just redesigned his site for spring. The grungy florally design. Amazingly this is the first time he eats his own dog food…or pick your own favortite saying relating to using your own product.

This is the first iteration of this site that is powered entirely by WordPress. (I know, 5 years late. The cobbler’s children go shoeless!) Before it was a cobbled together set of PHP includes and software like Gallery. Now 100% WP.
