I [love] marketing.

Don't be fooled by the title, this blog is much smarter than the typical blog pushing marketing ideas. Not afraid to question the status quo out there, lots of ideas to consider.

Kottke.org

A ton of diverse links, it's hard to be bored when there's a source like this out there.

PLUS and MINUS things

The image selection is always compelling as it is unique. Lots of photography and industrial design stuff.

PSFK

PSFK covers a lot of different areas of design and marketing. If something is kind of interesting out there in a commercial sense, they'll probably talk about it.

Swissmiss

A bellwether blog for all other reblog design sites, the number of people that gravitate to what is mentioned on this site is incredible.

UnBeige

There's a constant flow of news in the design world from fonts, furniture, art and architecture.

Wooster Collective

A great source and authority on all things street art.
