I believe that when people talk about solving problems with technology, what they’re usually talking about is solving problems with design, which is to say, the application of psychology in a visual & functional context.

Great lists. There is so much out there it’s hard to keep current. We all seem to end up with a few favorites, or a few from the top technorati list, but there’s so much more. I found a bunch I never heard of thanks to your list and the comments too. Added a few to my RSS reader as a a result. SO thanks.
If adding another list, I’d add Gigaom (http://www.gigaom.com) and Metue (http://www.metue.com) to the them. I think they have better writing than many of the others, and each has a slightly different focus. With so many tech news blogs it’s good to find ones with an original voice and a focus that makes them stand out.
