MODERNISM...WHERE?

With the content having created a debate amongst the critics, I'd say it's worth a read.

SOCIAL-NETWORKING FOR ARCHITECTS

Born of a four-piece partnership, Architizer is just one reaction, albeit a positive one, to the effects the economic slump has had on the architectural profession.  It's a social-networking site through which architects can swap news, showcase portfolios, and get their work out there.  Similar sites have been created for other design fields, but this one in particular stands out;  the site design, contents, as well as a certain respectful quality show through.  I'd say it's a pretty important tool.
