Hello Dezeen mailing list. What a month we're having! Our server has been melting from so many visitors - it looks like we'll top 900,000 readers in September.

Luckily our tiny team of three has finally been boosted by our fledgling intern programme: say hello to Matylda who's helping out this month (and thanks to Rob who was with us last month).

Since we last wrote, we've been busy at the Venice Architecture Biennale (it rained) and the London Design Festival (somewhat disappointing).

Oh well, Tokyo Designers Week and Design Miami are not too far off...

Designers used to get upset by the often vitriolic comments our readers post. But now they're exercising their right to reply by posting responses (see Matthew Hilton's post in our story last month). Jo's critique of the latest collection by green design collective Ten has provoked a strong response from Gitta Gschwendtner, one of the designers involved. Read the story and comments »

09_20_08 reckons the star-shaped mobile Chinatown by Chinese architects MAD is a wind-up. If so, with almost 100 comments so far, it's been pretty effective... Read the story and comments »
