About this last one, it comes from BrowserStack and it’s a really easy and useful tool to quickly assess the look of your site. Running it on this site gives the following output:

The Web is evolving in a way that it’s more accessible than ever before, through a growing number in kind of personal devices. One might navigate the Web from a PC or a touch enabled device. The challenge for web developers is to adapt the User Interface to each client device capabilities and support the features on an effective manner.
This is where to Bootstrap framework comes in. It was made to not only look and behave great in the latest desktop browsers, but in tablet and smartphone browsers as well.

Built at Twitter by @mdo and @fat, Bootstrap utilizes LESS CSS, is compiled via Node, and is managed through GitHub.
Along the same line, but with site creation using the new Windows 8 style, you might want to check out Metro UI CSS.
Metro UI CSS allows to create a Web site in the style of Windows 8 quickly and without distractions on routine tasks.
The great value added by this frameworks is that you get a great looking, responsive and adaptive UI that you can put on your own Web applications.

Mozilla WebMaker is a project to help people get into Internet literacy. The Web is the new main communication media and as you might settle to know how to read and watch content from the Web, you might say you are illiterate if you don’t know how to build and publish content for others yourself, how the browser technologies work and how you can take advantage of it all.
One of the WebMaker projects is the Popcorn Maker. This Web based tool makes it easy to use your web browser to combine video and audio with content from the rest of the web — from text, links and maps to pictures and live feeds. Mozilla Chief Operating Officer, Ryan Merkley makes a really good presentation about what Popcorn is all about:

Each time someone watches the videos, it’s a point in time experience because the live feeds are updated in real time and consequentially the content is different than previous moments.

Microsoft’s new suite of Web based Office application is out of the preview phase where you you could opt in, and has rolled out to everyone. The main aspects improved by this release are the improved authoring features present on the Ribbon toolbar, the higher fidelity of the web authored documents when viewed on the desktop, the collaboration features such as simultaneous editing and commenting, and the adaptive touch interface support.

Additionally to these improvements, the mobile interface has also been renewed to provide a better experience to non-Windows Phone devices, like iOS and Android.
