Link of the Day: Webdesigner News – All the Latest and Greatest in Web Design and Development
Staying up to the latest innovations in web design and development is not an easy task to accomplish. My personal Feedly is cram packed with over 500 feeds. And it costs me a lot of time to even keep up with these news, although they are more or less easily digestible through RSS - much easier than having to visit all these sites manually in any case. Tech news consumers love their TechMeme, but what do web designers and developers do. No, don't worry, I won't suggest that there are no sites to go to, but it's only a handful. Now this hand has grown its sixth finger...
There is an editorial team behind the site which is the biggest differentiation to other popular iterations of article lists with comments, share and upvote functionality. Just like on DN and HN anyone is asked to submit fresh stories, which then - other than on HN and DN - run through an editorial process. You need not create an account to submit a story, however. Creating an account is possible, but only helpful to keep track of your favorite stories.
Webdesigner News is thoroughly structured into 12 categories, so should you only be interested in articles on typography feel free to click the respective category. The same is true for UX, Apps and many more.

Webdesigner News - Curated Shortnews for Designers and Developers
Webdesigner News is the latest project by the guys behind Webdesigner Depot and Mighty Deals (and then some). There's no doubt that they know their trade. Webdesigner News is a site in the tradition of Hacker News (HN) and Designer News(DN) with the latter being the most obvious competitor. In a way you are already familiar with should you frequently visit the other two news sites, Webdesigner News lists the latest and greatest as a timeline without a lot of decoration around it.
