Maybe UX (User Experience) is the new IA (Information Architecture), but you know we need some guides to make real valuable Web 2.0 things, and the only way to do it is to listen to the visitors, not just count them. Here’s a list with the best 20 places we should go to find the real User Experience.
The UX Booth is a group that writes about User Experience, and offers free Website Usability Reviews that all designers and developers can benefit from.
UX Magazine sets out to explore, promote & discuss the multiple facets of user experience one article at a time.
The aim of The Usability Post is to provide relevant resources, tips and insights into good design in order to help you make great products.
So you want to be critiqued do ya? We’ve made it easy, simply paste a couple of links to your design(s) below and we’ll have one of our critics get on the job.
Most posts on this site are related to web standards, accessibility, or usability in one way or another, with the occasional post on other subjects.
Good content is sometimes not enough, the users must reach it so they can see it’s good!

Thanks for the list, it’s appreciated. I know what I *don’t* like…but, I have a hard time coming up with “new” ways to do things that work for me *and* an audience…b/c not everybody likes the same stuff. Some of these (useit, etc) I’ve seen & read for years…others, I’ve never seen. Thanks!

I find http://www.UXpond.com to be the best way to search and compare results between blogs and journals etc. It’s particularly good for searching all the popular pattern libraries in one go.

Great list. Without sounding self promotional, may I also propose my blog http://usabilitygeek.com . I blog mainly about usability and user experience guidelines, terminology, resources and practical implementation.
