I love to read, listen to music and be out with my friends. All of the above help me to maintain my creative ideas as life stems creativity. But, I spend most of my time during the day in front of a computer and must find creativity there as well. In order to do so, I participate in social sites (twitter, facebook, friendfeed, linkedin, etc), I read blogs (on average, 15-20 a day), and I love stumbleupon for finding new sites. But, one person can only do so much, so I often rely on my contacts to recommend new sites to visit and new blogs to read. This has not only introduced me to some amazing new sites but has given me almost a limitless supply of creative ideas.
So, today I polled all of my contacts on twitter to have them answer the question: What is your favorite blog to read (funny, serious, business, whatever) and why? The results were tallied and here is a great list to get you started on some new creativity:
@ CraigKessler Here is different type of blog I read of a NYC cabbie: King of New York Hacks
@ aquarius12385 Serious Eats . Top Chef recaps, food porn, seriously frequent updates & good mix foodie/not-so-foodie content, what’s not to like?
@ MarshaHudnall Cranky Fitness . title says it all
@AboutLisa favorite blog….hmmm….love @BawldGuy’s blog right now, it’s business and funny and economics.
@ dalwolf_now design blogs, design and the ideas behind it effects everything. It often pulls from multiple disciplines, like @SwissMiss .
@mayhemstudios Designers Toolbox : Handy print/web templates and resources.
@MatchesMalone Ok, the rest of you, mine is well, mine!!!
@mcritz NOTCOT.org
@marinemajor sorry, i don’t read blogs…. but I use twitter . I find challenging people here.
@ mschmulen Dataopedia , which is a great and very useful mashup for researching any website.
@barchbo Elements of Style : smart, stylish, comprehensive on the topic, thoughtful, good writing.
And of course, my recommendation? WrightCreativity.com (teasing…) Honestly, I recommend reading any of the above, or find your own to love.
Feeling like there is a site missing or disagree with any of the ones listed? Leave it in the comments!
