Design Blogs Make the Washington Post

A Dec. 1 story in the Washington Post lauds the success of design blogs, their creators, and their readers. The story, titled ”Blog Wild” has this to say about design blogs:

For people obsessed with design, the advent of design-focused Web journals, or blogs, has been a wonderful, terrible development.

Wonderful because these idiosyncratic Web sites, in which specific and frequently updated content is filtered through an individual blogger’s sensibility, give devotees an opportunity to indulge their obsession at the click of a computer mouse. Terrible because, as anyone who has ever discovered a favorite blog already knows, the impulse to hit the “refresh” button every five minutes to see what has been posted most recently can take over one’s life, putting things like social calendars and professional advancement in peril.

[Come on, journalists, can’t we have even one story that doesn’t find something snarky to say about blogs?]

Congratulations to Apartment Therapy, MoCo Loco, Design*Sponge and Funfurde, who were all featured.

  1. People like to be creative.  Blog sites allow people to be who they want to be.  Commercial sites have to conform to what the customer / public wants them to be. 
    I love the individual creativity part of blogging.
