How did you get so smart? (i.e. Where do you go for your daily reading?)

I’m going out on a limb here and guessing most of you here find a lot of your reading from your twitter stream. That said, where else do you go for a good read? I’m guessing http://news.ycombinator.com/ will be on many of yours lists as well…

  1. Are you looking for any specific type of reading (tech, coding, design, etc.)?

Inspired by Megan, why not pool the best of the what we read?

(Disclosure: I work at Publish2)

@Everyone: Let me know if you'd like to be added.

I think this would fill a gap between what's possible here at H&H, at Chris Amico's NewsTools and any wiki because members could save blog posts, articles, how-to's, etc. and filter by tag, subscribe via RSS, publish widgets, etc.

Twitter is definitely a huge source. I also subscribe to over 400 RSS feeds, which are another major source of info.

I follow my Delicious network RSS feed, Publish2 network feed and I use Twitter Times to curate links from people I follow so I don't miss anything important. I read Smashing Magazine, A List Apart and similar sites.

To encourage more people to share more of what they read, I created this Google Bundle of my favorite journalism and programming feeds: Media Hacking.

Making a Google Bundle is a really easy way to share a lot of feeds at once. Do you have one? Share!

  • Like Megan, I browse my Delicious network. (Browse my links and add me, if you like.)
  • Newsletters from developer groups and researcher listservs, like Project Wombat
  • The NY Times Open Blog, especially the "What We're Reading" posts.
  • Give Me Something to Read
  • GigaOM
  • Sparksheet
  • Carsonified
  • Hack Diary
  • Guardian Data Blog
  • Future Crimes
  • And while it's not reading, I make an effort to keep up with Planet Money via podcast.

    I haven't seen anybody using this yet, but I was thinking about setting up a tester for myself. Would anyone else find that useful?

    1. Yes, definitely. I am scrambling to keep up but also am intrigued by this – it would be a great addition to class we’re percolating at Medill.
