design blogs proliferate the net and offer instant info

“When I started Dezain in 1999, it was very difficult to find where nice online sources on design and architecture were, and when they were updated, so I decided to make a list of these resources to help me and other people,” he says. “It is daily research and a memorandum for my study, and also what I think many people want to know.” - Eizo Okada, courtesy of alex wiltshire, icon magazine.

More to the point, it seems that someone else has EXACTLY the same rationale behind his blog: 'Dan Hill, editor of City of Sound, set up his blog for similar reasons. Hill is the design and technology manager for BBC Radio Interactive: “My blog is partly a response to the informational overload from working in an insanely fast-moving industry. It’s a time characterised by exponential rates of change in terms of culture, architecture, cities and design practice in general. City of Sound is an indexed notebook I can store concepts in and can refer back to easily. It’s a personal information tool as much as it’s a publishing device.”' - again, courtesy of alex wiltshire, icon magazine.
