My Favorite Sites for Fresh Ideas

I get a lot of my ideas through reading and keeping up on a number of blogs. I checked my daily reads book marks and these are my top 10 (in no particular order):

  1. Gizmodo/Lifehacker – Published by Gawker Media, this is the tech and productivity geek’s blog. A lot of the material is curated from other sites but they also publish a lot of good original content.
  2. Jess3 – This is a young but kick ass awesome data visualization company ran by some really entrepreneurial geniuses. They make really amazing graphics and really make data fun.
  3. Viz Think – This is the visual thinking community. Content is a little slow but when they post, it’s really valuable. The archives hold a lot of information on visual thinking and visual design.
  4. xBlog – Now a part of the Dachis Group, this is the xplane blog. The visual thinking company ran by Dave Grey continues to publish invaluable thoughts on business modeling and change through visual language.
  5. Duarte – Published by Nancy Duarte, author of Slide:ology. She posts some really useful information here.
  6. Swiss Miss – Swiss designer living in NYC, Tina finds some of the neatest design examples and innovative products. She posts a lot which is good to keep entertained.
  7. 99% – Published by Behance, they publish cutting edge ideas on a variety of topics. Very high quality.
  8. Thinking for a Living – This is sort of a online web magazine with very well written content. The navigation of the site is amazing and a lot of work goes into generating their material.
  9. Gamestorming – Another Dave Grey site, this blog/forum contains the collective knowledge of business gamers out there.
  10. Change This – They curate some of the best presentations and documents on a variety of subjects. All the documents can be downloaded in either Power Point or PDF.

Any other sites you would recommend?
