A new twist on the portfolio site from Barkley

I was cruising through my bookmarks today an revisited the site for newly renamed Barkley advertising agency. The site was not anything exceptional but a feature in their work section did catch my eye. It was the first time I had seen a portfolio that gave the user the option to be able to socialize the work found there. In this case you can add the work to sites like Digg and Technorati. I like the thinking and the possibilities doing something like this opens up.

I'm Stephen Gates and I’ve been in the advertising business almost my whole life.  I am a designer and second generation creative director and an hour from now I will probably be locked away in my studio slowly going blind working on a new design or this blog.  That has to be love or insanity – since it is advertising it is probably a bit of both.

This blog is an extension of my personal portfolio site and is a collection of rants, resources, observations and advice about Web sites, usability design, technology, the advertising industry and who knows what else that are just too well done, funny or weird not share.  It takes a village so let me know what you think.
