Google's recent websites for marketing - this and http://www.themobileplaybook.com/ - really stand out. Their production value is just amazing, and in case of Mobile Playbook, content is great too.


It honestly is amazing.

I'm a front end dev, and have worked on some big and gorgeous sites, but damn... I've been working on startups for a couple of years and feel like the web has moved massively in that time... who ever is making this stuff is amazing (although I assume this isn't a single man effort)

Who else is feeling inadequate ;)


me :)


Both "books" strike me as sparse content veiled by (superb) visuals.


Sometimes style is substance.


They're great if you're using desktop or iOS, but fall short if you use Google's own devices. The mobile playbook serves a phone view to the Nexus 7 tablet, and a broken desktop view to the Nexus 4.


I wish they could develop a ebook publish platform with this technology. Handily beats Amazon's cloud reader.
