It's like Hot or Not for Websites

The title pretty much says it all. For better or worse this is both a great resource and massive time-waster for web designers.

I especially like the About page.

It has such gems as, "So far there have been 228714 clicks. The energy it took to click 228714 times raised the earth's temperature by .0000000000000000033416006 degrees, contributing to the melting of the polar ice caps. Way to go, asshole."

And "For Investors Q. Do you accept PayPal? A. Yes

Q. Who funded CommandShift3? A. CommandShift3 recently closed a Series A round of $39 from leading venture capitalists, enabling it to buy some domains and a pizza."

Also the idea is awesome. Bookmarked (that doesn't happen very often).

"Except, instead of clicking on hot babes, you click on hot websites."

There's the catch...

Excellent idea and implementation... but terrible domain name!

Command-Shift-3 is what you press on Macs to take a screenshot. It's an awesome name.

Oooh, I see, thank you...! I imagine the intended audience of this website uses Macs then, which is somewhat reasonable if they are web designers).

The problem with peer-review sites like this is that you are measuring how much other designers like a particular design. For most web sites, designers AREN'T the audience.

This sites cool,love the idea. Simple concept, so far seems well executed.

also if you submit a site, there's a hilarious video where the guy cries out free me I'm trapped on the internet!

I submitted a site just to see that working, but I had no luck. The video didn't work in my pc (though I could hear the audio). Btw, it seems they have a set of different videos...

This is Lee from commandshift3 -- what browser/os and version of Flash were you using?

I was using Ubuntu + Firefox, and I have Flash 7 on that computer because of a bad Flash 9 installation over a previous Flash (sometimes Flash 9 opens, most of the times it's Flash 7; when I entered at your site it was Flash 7).

No wonder it didn't work on that computer... don't worry about it...
