Design RSS Roundup 50+ Feeds

Posted May 29th, 2008 / By Adelle Charles in Creative Tools, Web Services / Sites

I read my RSS Feeds on a daily basis not only to keep up with the latest news but to see where trends in design are going, to learn new ways of doing things and to get other people’s insight on topics. It’s very useful in my every day life, but I must admit – it’s really hard to keep with it ALL the time. I used to have over 150 feeds and it was out of control. I slimmed down to about 60 feeds from the original list.

I am very interested in what you have to say about this topic. Do you rely on feeds for information? Or do you just visit the website instead? If you are an RSS subscriber, do you subscribe to any of the feeds on my list? Are there any important ones you feel that are missing from my list? If so, please shoot me a comment…

Below is my current list of feeds that I subscribe to. Maybe this list will help if your new to RSS or maybe you haven’t heard of some of these. Enjoy!

If you would like to import all the feeds, I have made the opml file available for download.

    I actually find hip.young.thing to be a neat site to follow, it finds different and interesting designs that get overlooked too often.

    Hi Adelle! That is a TON of design feed! I probably read about half of them, and about another quarter I still check in on (just not subscribed).

    @Sander, thanks for mentioning my blog!

    P.S. That comment from “logo design” is spam. S/he left the exact same comment on my blog a few days ago. Just thought I’d let you know…
