Spectives: an image-only way to track your favorite sites
You don't have to sign up for an account to search or browse collections, but it does have advantages. You can make your own collections and add favorites to your Spectives homepage as tabs for easy access. Although Spectives seems like an alternative to RSS, you can also get RSS feeds of your collections if you prefer to take in your visual content that way. The only minor issue I have with Spectives is that it frames sites when you click through an image to see the original post. I don't think anyone likes toolbars, so an option to open in a new tab instead would be outstanding.
UPDATE: Spectives does actually have an "open in new tab" option, if you're logged in. You can find it in your settings.
So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.
Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game".

Hi Jay,
I found out about Spectives a couple of weeks ago and it took me awhile to figure out how I could get value out of using it. I figured out that it is a great way for me to follow graphic design sites and the sites of other visual artist. I started a collection and plan to spend some time viewing some other collections that have been created by other users. I follow @spectives on twitter and a tweet usually goes out from them to highlight interesting collections that have been created.
Thanks for the post, I bookmarked it on Diigo for future reference.
