25 Imaginative Illustrations Inspired By Film Posted by Andrew Lindstrom / Lists / April 16th, 2009 For the most part, being both a film geek and design geek are two completely separate interests of mine that rarely coexist. Occasionally I’ll be enticed by a great poster design, or appreciate the font choice in a title sequence – but usually the two worlds never collide.

En esta categoría entran servicios como flavors.me o About.me. Si bien estos servicios son “generalistas”, es decir, apuntan al común de los usuarios, también han aparecido otros servicios de perfiles que apuntan a segmentos específicos.
