Please nominate a site that you think is using JavaScript in a very useful way. Please don't forget to include the site name, its address, and your reason for nominating.

Abstract Fonts

I like the way there is a ton of information on the page but you don't see it at first because it is tucked away until you click on a font that looks interesting. And then you see a bunch of information right there with more behind the tabs. Then click and it's gone and you continue scrolling through the list. So much nicer and faster than loading separate pages for the individual font information and the comments and all. Almost everything in one place but without clutter because it's hidden til you want to see it. http://www.abstractfonts.com/

Yahoo! Mail

Yahoo! Mail continues to impress me as the best web-based email interface. With their latest iteration (was Beta), the use of JavaScript is abundant in making the interface very ease to use with right-click (context) menus as well as an efficient interface utilizing JavaScript to eliminate trips to the server (page refreshes) when possible.
