I’ve always felt that System 7 on a black and white screen was one of the best computer experiences ever.

Free, 100MB storage, templates, super simple. Quicker to start than [Blogger](http://blogger.com/) (for me). Which brings up a question? Where will this fit with Blogger? Just a different market? Will Blogger be the premium service and this the ultra-basic?

Similar to the set linked below, but with a couple of significant differences:
* You buy a single set of icons with one color behind them (you can buy a set of six pre-selected colors, which would probably be more than adequate for most sites)
* There are 70 icons instead of 121 (again, probably more than adequate for most uses)
* The icons themselves are actually nicer. Not to dis Some Random Dude, because the Clearbits icons are okay, but Dan’s icon designs (all of them, not just these) are really, really swell and, I dare say, worth the money.

The background color and shape are configured through CSS. Pretty nice. I think something similar using PNG translucency would work well, too, especially if IE7 gets that stuff sorted out.

Post edited on April 25, 2010. This icon set was originally called “Clearbits” and at some point got renamed. Name and link updated.
