HBO Voyeur

HBO Voyeur

Just came across HBO’s site, HBOVoyeur.com. On content alone, it’s an amazing experience for users. Expect many to ask, “So what’s the point?” or “Is there a show attached to this?”

I’m hoping not.

More significant than the interface is the actual end-purpose of the site: imagine a site from HBO that exists only for itself. A site that IS the “show”, where the content only lives online. It would be a huge step for a major entertainment property to push into the online space in this way.

It will be interesting to see if this is a game-changer like BMW Films or Subservient Chicken, or one that passes quietly into the night.

Yahoo’s Summer Movie Guide

Yahoo Movies has created a solid Summer Movie Guide. The site seamlessly integrates Flash with traditional HTML, banner tech and provides a smart timeline-based navigation device.

Yahoo Summer Guide Navigation

After spending a few minutes on it, I easily reviewed the entire summer movie line-up, watched HD previews and saw which movies are currently the most popular and most successful. Worth the visit.

CNN.com Beta is Live

If you have a moment, swing by beta.cnn.com to see their new, revamped site. Lots of smart user experience upgrades, including an enhanced video experience and more topic cross-referencing (Watch the guided tour).

I know their development team would love your feedback (link to a survey is at the bottom right side of the homepage).
