Websites that you need to have bookmarked.

Over the past couple of weeks I’ve been saving a lot of sites to del.icio.us and majority of them have been applications, tips and tricks, and resource websites. Since I have so many, I felt that it would be a nice side project to play with. So for the next week or two I shall be posting about one-two websites a day (or at least try to) and give a short review and examples of what they can do.

Today I’m going to just post something small and simple… I’m sure you’ve noticed around the web the infamous famfamfam.com “silk” icons used in blogs, applications, and pretty much anything else that they can be “stuck on.” So lately I’ve been looking for a replacement to kind of get away from them and try out something new. My problem is that I don’t like creating my own icons, so I had to find them elsewhere.

Somehow I ended up coming across Sweetie – Cute and Clear Icons. The base package includes 156 transparent PNG icons. Some of the icons included are:

Even though they’re a little bit more glossy than I’d like, I might try integrating into some of my other sites to see just how well they work. If you’re looking for a nice set of royalty-free stock icons, I’d highly suggest checking out Iconshoppe.com. My favorite set there that I plan on purchasing is the Stockholm.
