Blogspot Layout
Google Blogspot has nice ways of presenting "pieces of info" in different layouts.
Eg go to http://borisovcoventry.blogspot.com/ and try:
- Classic, Flipcard, Magazine, Mosaic, Sidebar, Snapshot, Timeslide
In that case the piece of info is a blog post, in our case it's a comment/annotation/discussion...
(Blogspot also has nice templates, eg see http://www.blogger.com/template-editor.g?blogID=4010125631613458355, but we won't go for such cosmetics in RS3)
