Ask HN: What news sites are your favorites and why?
Lifehacker and Ars Technica are my current favorites. Always looking for a few more good information sources to add to my chrome bookmark bar :)
I'm sure there are a ton of great news sites out there that I've never seen, I really can't stand major news sites that use a huge amount of their screen real estate for advertisements and navigation bars.
What are your favorites?
- yan 17y agohacker news / newmogul is pretty much where I find the majority of my news these days. If it's important and relevant enough, it'll probably be here.
- michaelawill 17y agoChecked out Newmogul. Love it. I really love the arc layout. Very little wasted space.
- vaksel 17y agoThe only original source I read is techcrunch. Everything else I get through links found on technology/programming subreddits, hackernews, and a few forums
- brlewis 17y agoI use http://friendfeed.com/ http://friendfeed.com/ for crowdsourced, or more accurately, friendsourced news.
- mbrubeck 17y agoI read a number of "Planet" blog aggregators run by specific organizations or projects or individuals, e.g.: http://planet.gnome.org/ http://planet.gnome.org/ http://planet.debian.org/ http://planet.debian.org/ http://planet.mozilla.org/ http://planet.mozilla.org/ http://planet.intertwingly.net/ http://planet.intertwingly.net/ (Sam Ruby's personal reading list) They have an interesting mix of code-related news and personal blog posts.
- frossie 17y agoI monitor the World News RSS feed from guardian.co.uk - just to remind myself there is a world out there. They also have a very nice iPhone interface to their website, and the real website is very light on ads. Otherwise it's HN and Ars Technica.
- _giu 17y agoI like to read Heise Online (http://www.heise.de http://www.heise.de). I have to mention that Heise Online is written in german and an english version exists at http://www.heise.de/english/ http://www.heise.de/english/. But the official english version of Heise Online is called The H (which belongs to Heise Media UK Ltd.): http://www.h-online.com/ http://www.h-online.com/ . I especially like (and recommend) the security section of Heise Online (http://www.heise.de/security/ http://www.heise.de/security/), which is also available on The H for english readers: http://www.h-online.com/security/ http://www.h-online.com/security/ . now, the other sites I read on a regular base are: http://reddit.com/r/programming http://reddit.com/r/programming (I know you saw that one coming) http://reddit.com/r/haskell http://reddit.com/r/haskell http://reddit.com/r/ruby http://reddit.com/r/ruby ... and some other subreddits. I can recommend you to search for other technical subreddits at http://www.reddit.com/reddits/ http://www.reddit.com/reddits/ that match your interests.
- sirfrancisbacon 17y agoHacker News and Reddit for everything, pretty much; I enjoy reddit's programming section.
