Development links:
The World Bank's Development Impact blog, here, is my main blog to keep tabs on. It is a bit technical, but those who are taking/have taken the Impact Evaluation in Developing Countries course will enjoy it.
But there are plenty more out there- with a range of styles. To see a list of some favorites, courtesy of Owen Abroad, click here.
A number of development economists also have pages with interesting links, rather than blogs. I include just a couple here:
Chris Barrett's Research, here. and a blog from his graduate students here.

Data from Developing Countries:
