Online since October, 1997, coolstop's mission has been to provide fresh pointers, primarily to the more non-commercial, creative side of the web. Daily Picks and Site Reviews were featured throughout coolstop's first 10 years and listings of active sites have been archived for your enjoyment. With an eye out for original creative content and personal expression and sometimes, useful resources, meaningful initiatives, or amusing diversions, coolstop continues to recognize great sites in the spirit of its original mission, now in the form of NewFoundCool – enjoy!

Comments: When an artist makes a statement and chooses not to embellish it with "meaningless jibberish" or filler content, all that's left is the artist's statement.  It may be brief and quite simple, but the point is, it says what it says and nothing more.  That's the impression I get from today's Best of the Cool winning site - at least, I think that's the point being made by it.  The content is a simple presentation of a small series of very original graphics - a collage of sorts - and if that's just to brief to satisfy, the producer also gives you an escape route which is a gateway to some very cool places elsewhere.  The site defies normal navigation and site structure paradigms and really has nothing more to say than what you get out of it - I like it!
