Where Do You Get Your IT News?
whiggy asks: "I am a network admin in a small company with predominantly Windows systems, with minimal Linux exposure. I am attempting to organize myself in order to be more productive. Of course, one of the things on my list is to keep up with the latest technology trends. I have several sites in my bookmarks that I visit daily, but I am just curious what other good resources are out there. What are your favorite sites (or other resources) you get your morning news from? Which ones are the 'must haves'?"
Here, Ars Technica, Toms Hardware Guide, xbitlabs, AnandTech.
This seems a pretty useless question to ask on slashdot...
Why, yes! I AM new here.
.. not too many places. Spoonfeed and popurls are great for feeds. Popurls wins IMO because of one cool feature: if a Digg link looks interesting, you can go directly to the article by clicking on the tiny button on the right edge of each link.
P.S. Yet another horrible misuse of enlightenment's icon. Sad.
I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
There are any number of "general" tech news sites, but some have fairly specific topics - you should find some that cover your avenue of interest (or scrape Google News using a search for whatever). Mine:
4guysfromrolla.com, various google feeds (APIs, webmaster central), devshed.com, New Scientist tech site, The Raw Feed, MSDN, technology feed of the local newspaper website...
Mongrel News all the news that fits and froths
That and the conviviality are what draw me to slashdot.
It's not offtopic, dumbass. It's orthogonal.
I find that http://www.primidi.com/ is the best place to get them. Editted by a Mr Roland Piquepaille.
from The Onion of course!
