About Kottke.org
Kottke.org is a long-running blog that shares links and commentary on design, science, culture and interesting ideas. It acts as a curated guide to the web.
Writing and Content
Readers can typically find short posts pointing to videos, articles and other worthwhile discoveries. Curated publishing begins with selecting material from a wider range of sources. A link provides a route to the original work, while accompanying commentary explains the interest in it. Different subjects can share space when they reflect the editor’s curiosity, giving the collection variety without requiring every piece to belong to one professional speciality.
Culture, Links and Online Discovery
Kottke.org brings together links and commentary across culture, science, design and the wider internet. Its identity is shaped by curation: selecting material that is interesting and giving it a short contextual introduction. The result connects individual discoveries with a recognisable editorial taste, rather than concentrating on one narrow professional topic or a fixed product category.
Editorial Approach and Readers
It suits readers who enjoy browsing a curated mix of interesting content. Its appeal lies in the combination of varied discoveries and a consistent curatorial perspective on material found across the web. The experience is one of guided discovery rather than a fixed lesson plan. Readers may encounter an unfamiliar idea, a visual work or a subject they already follow. The editorial selection gives those discoveries a relationship to one another, with the publication’s character emerging through its recurring interests and the material it chooses to highlight.
