Apparently this is the week for articles with "2008" in the title. With so many floating around I decided to pick just two to go on the 5 for Friday list—and they're good ones. I'd like to welcome Dustin Brewer to the list this week. His list of Digg-like social networks for designers is a great one and I've enjoyed his other posts as well. I'm going to be taking it easy next we so I'll be posting a quick Christmas message and then I'll see everyone back here again next week for 5 for Friday. Now, here are this week five best blog articles:
