I had been following TechCrunch cuz everybody else was, but its turning to be pretty boring now. Frankly, I dislike the tabloid style posts of TechCrunch, a lot (and most of them are about Apple or Twitter).<p>Which blog do you follow?
I prefer to run into good articles, instead of chasing them down. RSS feeds and blog following can drain time fairly quickly; better search for what I want, if it's important enough it will find me.

<a href="http://arstechnica.com/" rel="nofollow">http://arstechnica.com/</a><p>Phoronix can be a good source of updates on a wide variety of software and hardware, and is the source of the biggest Linux benchmark suite, but can sometimes be shallow and dull. Groklaw is always insightful and informative. Ars is usually good, particularly Nobel Intent, but it is starting to drift into the realm of sensationalism.

This is great. I posted a similar thread comment a few days ago on websites and RSS feeds. <a href="http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=745260" rel="nofollow">http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=745260</a> But this is a really great list for someone looking for new content.
I basically start here: <a href="http://web20.originalsignal.com/" rel="nofollow">http://web20.originalsignal.com/</a><p>It has Techcrunch, Mashable, Read/Write Web, Center Networks and some fun sites with betas and Web 2.0 news.
