Favourite Site of the Week 080509

Ok, so as promised, this is not a fashion/photography orientated favourite site of the week. It is however, very cool and amazingly well developed. Site this week is: Crew.net and it is just be bees knees!
So the basic idea behind it, is that it is a shopping site for 'interns' from around the world (there is even a kiwi listed - she is the chick that everyone is looking at below):I guess what gets me the most about this site is:
  • It has been beautifully put together
  • It is a lot of fun to play with, the visuals so far are simply from the home page, and as you mouse over all the people check out who you are checking out
  • It's a nice idea, shopping for an intern, and you can sort these people by name, date, how many views they've had and what they specialise in
  • Once you delve deeper into each 'inter' you can get more information about these people, such as below:
Granted, these are the details for Dough, who seems to be a 7 year old fish from Greece, but sometimes, beggars can't be choosers. Bet you don't have to pay him much.

I guess, more than anything, it is just a beautifully crafted site. So well done.

In the same sort of vein, @Designpimp put up a link to FOXTEL's I am Unique which seems like the same sort of idea, but I am not sure that it has been quite as well executed, there seem to be a number of glitches in this site, but it is still pretty cool, plus anyone can add their own profile. I'm in there... somewhere.
