A blog is a Web site, usually maintained by individuals, with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as graphics or video.
The ability for readers to leave comments as an interactive format is an important part of many blogs.

As of April 2008, blog search engine Technorati was tracking more than 112 million blogs and given rankings based on the number of incoming links. It rated Boing Boing to be the most-read group-written blog, which incorporated kinds of opinions toward daily issue.

During the last week I’ve surfed all kinds of most-linked blogs and websites. Some are revealing gossip of celebrities, some are introducing the latest technology, and some are just sharing their thoughts about politics and news. To visit the top-linked blogs is not only allows you to receive interesting information, but also displays what people concerned most today.

I figured there are numerous valuable sources of knowledge and inspiration. Especially the Etsey.com and the DesignBoom. Etsey is basically a site where you can buy or sell handmade stuffs. It’s kinda reminds me a topic I’d always bear in mind. The responsibly of being a designer. Most of the time, we create things people don’t really need or pack things in a sumptuous way in order to make money. Etsey is a network of people who love green and handmade things. However the production of each product is quiet a few. If we can develop a process or standard for designers. To suggest designers think about the recycle and the reusability of each project, either in prints or industrial design. And execute this project in mass production instead of customized way i.e. Etsey.
