Full Version: Where do you get your Tech Info?
4peeps.com Forums > General > Talk Soup

I basically rely on websites now for most of my research but I always have to sort through allot of crap to find the information I was looking for.

I subscribe to Maximum PC but is it just me or has the magazine taken a turn for the worse over the past year. There just seems to be less substance and more fluff. I guess I do owe it a small debt of gratitude since it once recommended The Tech Zone as a good online forum to take problems too. And that eventually led me to join a couple of pretty cool online communities.

That being said aside from sights like these (4peeps, TTZ, Toms Hardware, Motherboards.org) where do you turn for reviews and news? I am looking to feed my head.

I have this list of places I go when I'm looking for news to post on slow days when not much comes into the box. Dunno if any of them might help you, but here goes. icon_smile.gif

http://www.anandtech.com/
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/default.stm
http://www.businessweek.com/technology/
http://news.com.com/
http://www.cnn.com/TECH/
http://www.globetechnology.com/
http://www.govtech.net/
http://www.siliconvalley.com/mld/siliconvalley/
http://techrepublic.com.com/
http://www.techweb.com/
http://www.wired.com/news/technology/

http://www.cbsnews.com/sections/tech/main205.shtml
http://www.egmmag.com/
http://www.eweek.com/
http://www.extremetech.com/
http://www.microsoft-watch.com/
http://www.pcmag.com/
http://www.computerworld.com/
http://www.pcworld.com/
http://www.itworldcanada.com/
http://www.technewsworld.com/
http://www.infoworld.com/
http://www.hardocp.com/

Those are the ones I scan to see if they've got anything I think might be interesting.

Then there are the sites that gather headlines from various sources, I use those fairly regularly as well:

http://www.newshub.com/tech/
http://www.newslinx.com/
http://www.1stheadlines.com/technology.htm

And then there are the various sites you can find in the news posts I make both here and at TTZ. I don't have any of them bookmarked, they just submit items and I post them.

Now, I can't guarantee you won't still have to wade through a bunch of crap, but now you have a bigger wading pool! icon_mrgreen.gif

The ones who most regulary submit news for posting in no particular order (can't sleep, figured I'd make a list).
