Fun and Fascinating Blurbs

Want some ideas for ways to display headlines and summaries? Noise Between Stations' Blurb Gallery by Victor Lombardi is just the resource. He’s collected quite a few screen captures from news sources, weblogs, and journals and provided short comments about each—Salon, The New York Times, Textism, xblog, nublog, WebWord, International Herald Tribune, Useit.com, and more.

Speaking of blurbs, Dennis G. Jerz’s Blurbs: How to write them for web pages can be a good source for insight and further resources.
