This goes along the lines of the Must-read UI books. I haven't found too many blogs/sites that are aimed exclusively to this topic that are good resources for UI, so I hope you can recommend a few more than these.

I suggest that each and every web site is posted in separate answers. That way we can vote for the web sites individually. – Jørn E. Angeltveit Aug 10 '10 at 9:42

"List of..." questions that can't have one, correct (for the asker) answer aren't really what Stack Exchange is about. A certain number have been tolerated on other sites, but you should really try to avoid asking them. – ChrisF Aug 10 '10 at 22:23

ChrisF, it won't become a habit, don't worry ;) I know this kind of questions are not always useful, but I think compilations of books and sites/blogs are a great contribution for the Stacks. – ign Aug 11 '10 at 15:43
The good blogs will be deep-linked in answers to questions and you'll eventually discover them that way. This question invites people to go off and explore the rest of the internet when they could be participating in the community that we're trying to build. – Patrick McElhaney Aug 16 '10 at 1:34

+1 for smashing magazine - but your list of site should be separate posts to allow each book to be evaluated separately. – ericslaw Aug 11 '10 at 12:04

I don't get why a UI blog would choose Silverlight for its entire website. Am I missing something? – Rahul♦ Aug 26 '10 at 12:21

Wow, that Quince is a UI nightmare considering it bogs the browser SO much. – Nemi Oct 27 '10 at 18:21

I'm a big fan of Dmitry's Usability Post. I'm thrilled that he designed the theme for this site. – Jin♦ May 3 '11 at 18:29

I've depended on 37signals' Signal vs. Noise for, what, 7 years now. One of the philosophies they've always upheld is that there's a lot to learn about design from other fields, and as such, their blog frequently goes off course and discusses anything from industrial design to architecture and cars. Each time, though, it's somehow related to design thinking. Very inspiring.

I can only post one link yet, so it would be the great Johnny Holland Magazine.

I forgot about this one:

http://uxurls.com/

It's an aggregator of numerous UX websites, including most of the ones mentionned in this thread. Some of the sites are no longer updated but it's still very useful.

  • UX Myths collects many User Experience misconceptions and explain why they are not true (based on research). It is a useful site to reference since most of these myths appear now and then in conversations.

UX Movement is a pretty good one.

UX Movement is badly written and rarely cites any research or science to back up its claims. – DisgruntledGoat Sep 13 '11 at 10:31

We'e just started a UX and design blog called Epic Bagel - be fantastic if anyone has a chance to explore it a little. Started to get a small following which is great, although feedback is always welcome :)
