Wendy Taylor, editor of Six Apart‘s Blogs.com, recently got in touch to see if I’d be interested in being a guest author to create a list of the 10 Best User Experience Design Blogs. Of course I jumped at the chance.
Mindful of this honor and opportunity, I was very careful about the blogs that I decided to choose for the list. Of all of the great blogs out there on user experience, the 10 I chose made the cut because of their focus, depth, diversity, frequency of posting, and influence they’ve had on my thinking and my work. Some are well known and widely read, while others are more covert and deserve greater attention.
My Guest Top 10 is now live, and I really hope folks will find it valuable.
