Robby Leonardi has created an interactive resume that is getting a lot of attention. It is good reminder about what you are up against for competition, especially a couple years out of school.
At the same time though, while it functions as a great portfolio piece, he is not only creating a barrier to getting his contact info, but he is missing an opportunity to link to his design portfolio and to a resume that can be saved and kept. Unless they hack his url to get to the homepage, a potential employer would have to go into his Dribble portfolio to get back to his main site to find the info they need research further whether they want to hire him.
The upshot is, clever look and feel isn't enough. You still have to start with your user and work backwards or you risk talking to yourself.
