Core77 / Designboom /

I can´t choose one...
Core 77 is a magazine style website about Industrial design and related topics, in here you can found articles from experts, photos, books, information about design schools, discussions and in a personal view, 3 special sections:

• Jobs & Portafolio /

  This section get us to COROFLOT, here you can create a portfolio, share it, and find a employment (with a Job alert option).

• Design Firms /

  A simple database of international design firms (I only can found 15 chilean Industrial Design firms :()

• Store /

  It's a store (core77 products and other collaborations)

This is a great site, always with new sections, info, and a great web design.

Designboom, a blog style website, about Design (Industrial, Graphic, Experience, Weeb, etc), Architecture, Art and other related topics. Here you can find similar sections, but the specials are:

• Design-Aerobics /

  Courses, and trainings.

• Competitions /

  Interntational Competitions and Designboom's competitions (in forums, you can find one great contest: Designboom's One Hour dDesign Challenge)
  

I use to visit this sites quite often, because as in any area, you have to be up to date, and this mean spend a lot of hours uin fron of the computer and read a lot of books.
