If you are interested in the tech startup world...

...these are some interesting sites to bookmark and read regularly.
Check them out here.

1. Smashing Magazine - Delivers useful and innovative information to Web designers and developers. What I like is their focus on user experience and design.
2. The 99% - Behance's think tank,which researches the forces that truly push ideas to fruition. One of my new favorite sites.
3. TechCrunch - Dedicated to obsessively profiling startups, reviewing new Internet products, and breaking tech news.
4. Mashable - I may have mentioned these guys before, but they are the largest independent news source dedicated to covering digital culture, social media and technology so they are core source of news to the startup community, the same way the NYTimes is core to liberal, well educated urbanites.
5. We are NYTech - The strength of New York's start-up community can be attributed to its diversity of talent and the strong collaboration between those involved. This site puts a face to the amazing people who are involved in this industry, some of whom I've had the pleasure of meeting and or working with. In fact, my friend Sarah Judd Welch was featured the other day!
