Design-obsessed Go Blog WildIn the past few years, blogs such as Apartment Therapy, MoCo Loco, Design Sponge and Funfurde have emerged to constitute a bona-fide design district within the blogosphere, the collective noun denoting all the blogs to be found on the Internet.
Think of the typical design blog as equal parts bulletin board, cocktail party, garage sale and aesthetic manifesto.
On any one of them, a visitor might find a sequence of posts celebrating a new line of furnishings from a major retailer, soliciting opinions on a coveted coffee table, advertising a sofa for sale and decrying a new building that has been much ballyhooed by the architectural press.
"They're a great interactive resource," says interior designer Ky Ta of Washington.
By posting questions on blog comment boards, he says, "you can basically leverage the entire design community to solve problems.
They're also a great buying guide for people who don't necessarily know where to go to look for certain things.
So they're really providing a free service, and anyone with an Internet connection can use it."
