While these blogs are good starting points, please feel free to read news from other sources.
Tech Crunch
Tech Crunch is well written, insightful technology blog that treats its writing as news.
Engadget
This blog’s postings are pervaded with wry humor and smidge of satire as it covers tech news and internet culture. Need an example? Ever seen a Hello Kitty Assault Rifle?
Venture Beat
The focus here is on business. If you want to know who’s a mover and shaker or what the impact of some of the latest deals in the communication technology industry will be, this is a good place to start.
Mashable
Tech News with an emphasis on social networking (Facebook, Myspace, LinkedIn, etc.). This is the place that will note every little feature change on facebook and have the scoop on new upcoming features.
Wired
Yes it’s a magazine. It also has substantial, well written content, blogs, and a host of other information waiting to be gleaned by eager COM 202 students.
Digg.com – Technology News
The social news site where users contribute stories and others vote on which articles are the most interesting/relevant.
Diggnation (Video)
For a real diamond in the rough, check out the funny and subversive video news show Diggnation whose hosts cover internet culture and technology news while drinking substantial amounts of beer and making cracks. Think Beavis and Butthead with technology except smarter. Use your best judgment when selecting a story as sometimes this show is light on Tech News and heavy on Youtube.
(Note: Diggnation can be R-rated depending on how much they drink).
NPR - Technology Podcast
Audio podcasts that cover tech news. High quality technology journalism that you can listen to on the net or on your MP3 player.
