I subscribe to a monthly Trend Watching newsletter that excels at creating new marketing buzz-words. My fave thus far has been "Twinsumer," which they descibe as "taste 'twins': fellow consumers somewhere in the world who think, react, enjoy and consume the way they do." I get this - it's really what blogs are all about, helping us find people "like us" who are weeding through what's out there and can help us narrow in on what we like and want.
A few blogs I've been devouring recently, in search of my perfect twinsumer:
Design Sponge - stellar taste, lots of unique home products recommended
San Francisco Gourmet - fascinatingly anal reviews of restaurants, restaurant reviewers, and more
LJCFYI - always cute, always fun
My Little Mochi - May be TOO cute for some - beware.
Also, Yelp.com, which is part high school yearbook, part review site, is quite entertaining- much more personality and spark than citysearch.com - especially if you like to put a face (or kitten face or pretty image) with a review. A handy source of lists (best SF brunch, good romantic restaurants, etc.)

"Fascinatingly anal" -- well, I'll take that as a compliment, whether it was intended as one or not! Thanks for reading, and thanks for the link.
