Well, couldn’t help but love the example i saw at simplebits . Not only do the minitabs look great to my taste, they also make a great usability improvement to the site. Out goes the old smelly, dusty, navigation. And in comes the new one ;)

The tabs give a good sense of positioning to the readers and even help build up the mental model of the site structure. So applaud for the people at simplebits. I have no idea if they came up with the idea or not, but what the heck, i copied it from them anyway. So all throw your hands full of credit over to them :). Wanna see their post?
