I follow several tumblelogs and that means I don’t always have the time to check back and look at all the posts I’ve missed. That’s why I have bookmarked a handful of sites whose updates I can’t afford to miss. They are perfect examples of what a tumblelog should be: sometimes original content is posted but nevertheless, it’s always thought through, cleaned up and presented neatly. Here are just two:
Ever wonder what a perfect tumblelog is supposed to look like? Matthew’s is it. A beautifully-designed transmission from the deep south that raises the standard of microblogging. Besides the clever design you’ll notice that Matthew thinks through each post, explaining and commenting on it, then organizes it with tags and a unique short url. This serious attention to detail makes it easy to spend hours browsing this wonderful collection of images, videos, links and the like.
Sites like these aren’t built, they’re crafted – for you – so be sure to visit and follow. I can promise you you won’t be let down.
Also, be sure to check out the History section to the right for some useful and memorable posts.
David is a man who knows just what to do if his cat makes too much noise which should be reason enough for you to click that fancy dancy +Follow button, but I’ll give you a few more anyways. 9-Bits always offers good, quick commentary on the latest design and tech news. David is also a wizard of sorts. Proof: jQTouch & WebKitBits. And sometimes, if you’re lucky, he gives stuff away. That’s right, stuff for free.
Not many give back to the online community like David and, well, that’s just awesome. If you like technology, design and all that comes with it you should definitely follow 9-Bits.
Yep, there’s a few others but I’ll save those for later. Happy new year, people!
How's it going? I’m Danny and I believe that design directly affects the way we see the world. Follow me on any of the networks below to get to know me better!
