Which web design blogs do you guys read?

At the moment I'm only subscribed to Six Revisions and A List Apart but I'm looking for some other gooduns.

I’m sure you’re looking for something more technical and less strategic, but I have a lot of time for IA Japan, Mark Boulton, Matt Jones, Alexander Payne, Adam Greenfield and Dan Hill. I’m not much of a web developer, so my tastes are a lot more generalist than stuff like A List Apart or 37 Signals.

Dan Hill wrote an amazing piece recently on his year of directing Monocle’s web presence.

Great. I wasn't looking for anything specifically, just nothing that focuses on tutorials really. I was looking for more of other companies or individuals' thoughts / insights in to the industry.

Fair enough. The stuff I like to read tends to be folk who may work in the web world, but think and talk about stuff in a wider context.

If any of that grabs you, you should really check out Jan Chipchase. He works in the mobile sector.

I've give these a read over the weekend and see how I get on.

Just came across a preview of the new homepage for The Economist. It’s annotated with mouseover text. Always interesting to read a little justification for why folk have done things their way.
