TopShop now has a US site to shop at online! If you don’t know TopShop, the best way to describe it would be the H+M of the UK. Love it! (oh how I miss London…)
But wait! TopShopNYC is coming this fall… a good reason for a roadtrip 
Came across a new blog today: BizChicksRule which links to many more in her blogroll. Learn about networking, self-promotion, business planning, marketing+branding, career management, and much more. Wow, I think I’m only now discovering (or finally realizing) the vastness that exists on the internet…
Relates to my previous post and the Design*Sponge resources.
I joined Twitter a few weeks ago..
So far, I’m just tweeting to myself, but just came across this article from BusinessWeek. Now, just gotta learn to do it right 
My feed is on the right-hand navigation column. enjoy!

Lots of good arguments for and against the stock photo sites like GettyImages and Design/Photography firms. Basically these are 2 different target markets. Cheap photos from websites target those who would not generally pay for professional work and allows amateurs to gain exposure on the web. Design firms need to continue to focus on clients that will pay for their professional services.
An interesting debate…What do you think?

I’m not one to follow on politics much, which is what intigued me about this site called Glassbooth.org. Through a series of questions, it rates which presidential candidates have values most like yours and address the issues most important to you.
Seems like a great way to get unbiased info on the candidate and really understand what these people stand for.
The site is rather well designed too!
Everyone should take a look at this site, storyofstuff.com. A great, simple way of exploring and explaining how we are all affecting and being affected by the consumer world we live in. Where does all this ’stuff’ come from? and how does it get here? Where does it go?
Really, how is it that we’ve become such a consumerist society. Just the other day, my co-worker and I had a brief conversation about what happened to the day when everyone knew their neighbors and knew what was going on- the gossip in the small town sort of feel. Today it seems like we’re locked up in our houses, often afraid to or too busy to talk to our neighbors, let alone strangers.
I’m off on a tangent. Just go ahead and take a look (and listen) to the site.
First off, Hulu is a site for streaming TV shows and movies.
Earlier this week, I checked out the site for the first time and decided to watch a movie, just to check out how ‘well designed’ this site really is. I’ll admit, not only is the simplicity great to navigate, but the streaming of video was nearly perfect. No commercial interruptions over 30 seconds- Probably about 6-10 throughout the whole movie. Not bad at all. There was no jumping or ‘buffering’ during the stream. Great new site to watch videos and TV shows!
