The internet is overflowing with ideas, news and perspective on basically every topic imaginable. But much of the web’s daily deluge of information is recycled or diluted.

Especially if you have a real passion for something.

The constant skimming of mindless aggregators, RSS and up-vote feeds looking for something meaningful can leave you wanting.

After all, the best insight usually comes from other people who share your passion; musicians sharing what their fellow artists and friends are listening to; politicos with their favorite roster of reporters and analysts and Apple fans have the Cult of Mac team.

With so many Mac users working in the digital creative field, a huge number of them designers, we’d like to point you to a new website that aims to clear the clutter around the topic of design.

Design is a popular search term, which returns content of widely fluctuating quality.

WebdesignerNews.com prides itself on finding and curating the best design industry-related news on the web, curated by an in-house team of pros.

The site’s presentation is familiar enough, a constantly updated stream of content organized according to what readers are engaging with: long- and short-form articles, videos and animations, breaking news and trending stories, all related to the profession, practice, and philosophy of design.

Unlike a lot of other crowd-powered feeds, everything that goes up on WebdesignerNews is vetted by industry professionals, making for a lean and compelling feed that will provide inspiration and save time from trawling the web.

It’s like having a bunch of design-savvy friends with great taste who relentlessly sharing the best design content the web has to offer.

The entire range of curated material can be viewed on the main chronological feed, ordered by popularity, or sorted by any of a dozen of the most popular subcategories of design: infographics, typography, apps, web, etc.

Luckily for design geeks whose time is limited and who have been frustrated by the constant searching for relevant and interesting content, WebdesignerNews just launched a daily newsletter that’ll send its top finds straight to your inbox every morning.

And, in keeping with the goal of operating as part of the design community, the site’s curators want to hear from you. If you have anything worth sharing, whether it’s something you’ve created, written about or just something you’ve found, they’ve made it easy to submit through a big red link at the top of the page.

Each submission is considered solely on the basis of quality, so you’re just as likely to get your idea posted as Jony Ive.

Go on over and check out WebdesignerNews to see, and contribute to, the best of what is happening in the design world.
