It's good to be aware of the trend, but it's definitely not going to stop. Frankly, if the editor of those posts just gives a hint that he/she even read the original resource, they can be really useful. I find value in them. (I'm featured in them, so I can't complain.) That's a good point that the more they feature the same content, more of the same designs get produced. But flipping that on it's end, that's a good way to stay on pulse with the recent trends, and that's all these magazines ever claim to do - it's up to the designer to break the mold. And the magazines will never stop because these posts are traffic and in-bound link magnets, which drive advertising and also allow those sites to link to other domains that they want to boost the rankings to (one web-design related site had 'friends' section with a link to a bank loan domain name - now you know that's nothing but a page ranking technique). Anyway, at the very least, I think they have risen the bar of what web design was several years ago. Great post. Later. Hi Jason.
