Top 10 New Design Blogs to Watch

  1. This is a search for the Top 10 NEW Design Blogs to Watch.
  2. The blog nominees to be considered should be less than 1 year old.
  3. Please email your votes (up to 5) to toptentowatch@gmail.com by October 15th.
  4. More details below...
===============

As you all know, The Home Rejuvenation came up with the brilliant idea of conducting an online poll to see who are the top 10 most influential design blogs today. While I think that there are many wonderful design blogs out there that deserve a place among the top 10, I am hoping that this poll will not simply reaffirm the already well-known design blogs out there. It will be great if through this process, more "lesser-known" design blogs could be uncovered and given the recognition they deserve. The irony is of course that many of these "lesser-known" blogs may not yet be "influential" enough to make it to the Top 10 of this poll in the first place! =)

I thus emailed Stan of the The Home Rejuvenation over the weekend to suggest that laissezfaire run a concurrent poll to find out which are the "Top 10 NEW Design Blogs to WATCH". These blogs need not be the movers and shakers of design blogland (just yet). The objective is to reveal the your favourite NEWbie design blogs (less than 1 year old) that we should all keep an eye on and encourage them to keep up the good work! To avoid this just being another popularity contest, I will take into account not just the number of votes I receive for the nominated blogs but also the quality of the content (from a design point of view) + length of the the blog has been in existence.

Really hope that this we will be able to get to know more wonderful new design blogs through this exercise. To nominate, please send an email to toptentowatch@gmail.com by 15th October 2007 . Each person is entitled to vote up to a maximum of five candidates. The final results will be posted together with The Home Rejuvenation's current poll . Lastly, do help spread a word on this poll so that we will all be able to uncover more great blogs together! Thanks!
