I spend a lot of time surfing the web and most of the time I spend it on The Verge, Engadget, or writing for my blog, Techblitz. What do you guys read?

All of my news is congregated into Pulse. Engadget, Gizmodo, PC Gamer, Cnet, and a compilation of "Top Tech stories" that Pulse picks through some algorithm or another.
Do you use Techmeme? That is basically a collection of top tech stories
TechnoBuffalo is a good one, too.
I guess I cruise all the major ones fairly regularly, but on busy days I just let Google News do the bulk of my news reading. I have apps for it but just haven't used them regularly.
i really like ars technica for that kind of stuff. they cover everything fairly well from games to new phones and such
ArsTechnica is a really well written site, but I don't always visit as much as I'd likeQuote:

It sounds like many of you enjoy general tech sites vs. niche sites (like WinSource). It's hard enough to keep up with news on one topic, I can't imagine trying to run a site (or attend an event) that needed to cover all tech news. Talk about overwhelming!
As the lone writer for my blog, I can attest to this! It's hard to keep up with all the newsQuote:

I like that. Yes, I am a tech site nomad... although I rarely post on the bigger ones BC a chance at good conversation dwindles with higher numbers.Quote:
