FavoriteThingz is a new Web 2.0 project that have been getting themselves a bit of publicity (hence the reference to sugar in our post title) lately.

The concept is to great a kind of Flash slideshow by selecting your various favourite movies, bands & brands and then FavoriteThingz generates a nice little Flash applet for you to use on your own site. The design is very, very slick and it looks really impressive. A possible added bonus is the fact that the slideshow also acts as a CPA advertisement for the differents “slides” and you can earn commission from sales that’s generated from clicks on your site. Sneaky. But marketing-wise it’s brilliant from the FT guys.

Only downside at this stage is the fact that the database of possible favourite things are a little small at the moment. If they pick that up, you might see this popping up all over the net. Another suggestion – and the reason why we don’t their system is cool enough to implement here yet – is to give the user some size customization for the slideshows, since their standard issue at the moment might be a bit bulky for most sites to implement in their designs.

Check them out though – things can only get better!
