Ten years ago today Jason Kottke launched his influential blog Kottke.org. The site is a fascinating collection of…whatever Kottke cares to post there.

So prescient was his vision of the future of publishing though that today he’s married to the co-founder of Blogger.com and can be counted among the earliest pioneers in the present era of online bricolage – the art of assembling diverse found objects.

Bricolage has become one of the most dominant themes of the new online world. The word may be French and unfamiliar, but you see the concept in action every time you read BoingBoing, for example. There are few blogs more widely read than BoingBoing – but it’s in tribute to Kottke’s 10 year anniversary that we offer the following collection of some our favorite places to discover marvelous things online. All are curated by the careful eyes and hands of one or a few editors, making these sites a different experience than places like Digg, Del.icio.us Popular, PopURLs or elsewhere.

Not only are these types of sites widely read, they are also inspiring a cultural renaissance of bricolage on sites like Tumblr and FFFFound.
