Isolatr

Unusually, the site we're featuring here offers little more than a tiny quantity of content and no functionality. Its been popping up on various blogs and sites over the last week and if you haven't seen it already then you no doubt soon will. I'm not sure who pioneered the dropped 'e', but I suspect it was flickr.com. No doubt this web spawned affectation will cross over into the real world before long, like the vertical bar '|' and the underscore '_' and the dreaded at '@', all of which crop up with an annoying frequency in hip marketing campaigns and designs. Back in the web world, many people are using the dropped 'e' for their own entertainment and mischief.

Isolatr is one such upstart. The small but amusing parody is at the front of the Web 2.0 backlash, poking fun at both community driven sites, web vernacular and the dropped 'e'. I like that, it made me smile, it's cropping up everywhere, what more reason do I need to nominate it? None.
