Javascript has been around for many years now. But with the explosive introduction of fantastic new frameworks like jQuery, MooTools and Prototype, there are some amazingly creative designers & developers out there that still find new and exciting ways to use it.
Here’s a list of five really great jQuery-powered sites I’ve seen recently. Feel free to leave a comment and let us know what other amazing sites you’ve seen around the web.

A grungy, yet super-clean site that makes great use of jQuery by powering their job search with it.
