So what explains the success of Cute Overload, a new page-a-day desk calendar that recently shot to the top of its category on <A title="More information about Amazon.com Inc" href="http://topics.nytimes.com/top/news/business/companies/amazon_inc/index.html?inline=nyt-org">Amazon.com</A> and, more remarkably, to the upper ranks of the site’s overall best-sellers list?</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.nytimes.com/2008/08/20/business/media/20adco.html?_r=1&ref=technology&oref=slogin"><div align="center"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.nytimes.com/img/9A5343EF-F67A-4417-A988-0AEECCDA1FDE" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.nytimes.com/2008/08/20/business/media/20adco.html?_r=1&ref=technology&oref=slogin"><div align="center"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.nytimes.com/img/E48CA9B6-82C9-417E-92DB-E6291B9A7FAC" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.nytimes.com/2008/08/20/business/media/20adco.html?_r=1&ref=technology&oref=slogin"><P>Stranger still, the birth of Cute Overload was almost purely accidental. Meg Frost, a 36-year-old design manager at <A title="More information about Apple Inc." href="http://topics.nytimes.com/top/news/business/companies/apple_computer_inc/index.html?inline=nyt-org">Apple</A>, started <A target="_" href="http://cuteoverload.com">cuteoverload.com</A> three years ago to test Web software.

BoingBoing linked to Cute Overload, saying that viewing the site “is like taking a happy pill.”</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/076F7B24-2ADF-45F4-930E-033B4529B614/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
