I'm surprised with Mashable and Sitepoint - those being the less "design blogs" out of the bunch. Anyway, I am one of the owners of Go Media - as mentioned in the Brusheezy paragraph. We are not partners in eachother's company - rather he's a leading affiliate of our products. He's simply advertising our stuff and his visitors are a prime audience for it. He's our best affiliate hands down. And I wanted to mention that I feel our site should be on this list. Our blog at www.gomediazine.com is often linked to from sites like Bittbox and PSDtuts. And we are first and foremost a design studio that blogs and sells stock artwork on the side at the Arsenal. I'm currently redesigning the GoMediazine and it will be much better and more functional for our users. And will help bridge our 3 sites together more. I like your business insights for each site though. Very informative. I can learn something from your suggestions to those other sites. Thanks for the list!

Like it or not, Sitepoint's 99 Designs pays the bills for a lot of designers and hundreds of companies are turning to it for design. Beyond that it's one of the most highly trafficked places on the web. That equals influence, love it or hate it. Also, Sitepoint.com made #1 99 Designs is just one of it's properties.

How can you place that sh*thole near the top? Sitepoint is a programmer's paradise, NOT a designer's. 99Designs is one of the worst poisons of the design industry, and it's at number 01???????!!!! If you are indeed a designer, I truly wonder how much Sitepoint paid you for you to sell your soul to their propaganda. 99Designs?!?!?! How can you place that sh*thole near the top?
