If you're a student, enter the Electolux DesignLab 2006 Competition here. Design Lab is an annual competition where design students compete in product innovation. Last year, two students from NUS walked away with the first prize!

And then there's 5oup which lets you submit work you've done. If a submission is successful a profile will be set up for that student with a picture link to the profile added to the top of the fresh list on the home page. A new talent is added to the fresh page each day, and come the end of the week the best of 7 is chosen to grace the featured slot for the duration of the following week.

If ever I want an unforced smile on my face i check their splash page out. The best designed splash page in the whole world. I love it. Light as hell in size and just wonderful. Check out their splash page.

A usability and accessibility note. I'd recommend that they use the noscript tag in order to display atleast an image or text for users who don't have Flash installed on their systems and who don't want downlad it from the Macromedia website so they can make their way into the happycorp!

Acronym Finder- With more than 480,000 human edited acronyms, they claim this is the world's largest acronym database.

Internet Acronym Server- They've been collecting acronyms from all over the Internet for the best part of two decades. You can submit them too.

Acronym Search- Not as comprehensive as the other two, though claimed to be edited every few days, you can however add acronyms specific to your company so others can find them.

Kids with Cameras is this really sweet thing being done to empower the children of Calcutta's red light district by creating a school and campus specifically for them.

Existing schools in Calcutta are hesitant to admit children like those featured in Born into Brothels, simply because of where they are born and raised. In the rare cases that schools do accept them, the children are often further stigmatized and limited in reaching their full potential.

Their mission is to create a safe and nurturing environment, to provide the highest quality education available in the world and to support the children all the way through to university. I copied and pasted most of this out but its really sweet. You can contribute too, the least by sending at least an email.. I just did.
