Freshbump – We’ve already featured and talked about Gawker-like sites that use a showcase of pictures as a way of starting a social discussion and increasing users’ exploration of the Web. FreshBump uses the same premise, and does so beautifully. In terms of areas of focus, “Freshbump is a daily visual inspiration source for industries including, but not limited to: Advertising, Architecture, Computer Arts, Graphic Design, Illustration, Industrial Design, Interior Design, and Photography.” The FreshBump added value is its social media aspect which “facilitates community driven content promotion and prioritizes posts based on the collective view of our userbase.”

Exploring FreshBump is easy; simply browse the big squared photos and click on whatever interests you. Another way you can pursue is clicking on one of “today’s most bumped” thumbnails on the upper part of the homepage. That’s how I came across the great posts below.
