I’ve just finished setting up uxurls.com – a user experience aggregator. It’s a really simple popurls clone, intended for people who are too busy to set themselves up with their own RSS reader, or just fancy a quick glance at the sites I’m reading.
There’s about 130 sites on there right now and I’ll be adding progressively more in the next few weeks.
If you want your site added, feel free to drop me a line @uxurls, but I’m not making any promises. This site is really just intended as a way for me to share the sites I’m reading at the moment, and it’s definitely not intended as an exhaustive catalog of all things UX.
I hope you find it useful!
Nice, Harry! Reblogged it at Konigi.
I think you’re better off restricting this to the sites you personally rate, Harry, rather than opening it up to anyone who maintains a user experience blog. These things are much more valuable when they are firmly edited — quantity can be the enemy of quality. Even “just” having 130 sites makes the page a challenge to scan read.
You should have seen the original opml file – only about 1 in 4 made it through! Point taken though, it’s definitely not for everyone :)
Nice one!
Talking about the OPML, maybe you could link that in the footer, so we could download it into our readers?
Good stuff! Keep up the good work.
Would you care to share how one goes about building a site like this?
It’s all visible if you view source – wordpress etc, quite easy really!
Nice site, I like the idea. Did you use the hosted version of WordPress or the full version? You might be interested in http://www.collected.info. It provides a service that does something similar, though with less control over design. Great to get a window into some UX blogs I hadn’t seen before – I appreciate you sharing what you did!
Collected.info looks good, thanks for the pointer Natalie! uxurls.com is hosted on a very cheap Dreamhost plan, nothing fancy.
Thanks so much for including our site (enable-usability.com)! I hope you enjoy reading it :)

That’s great. Thank you. Now if only there were time enough to look at everything!
Dear readers of the future: The linked site (tragically) no longer exists, and the twitter account has been superceded by @harrybr (which was alive at least through October 2012 when I posted this).
Dear author of the past: Please note the state of the site above the article’s body to save other readers the precious seconds I wasted having my hopes dashed. :-P
