Internet provides a wide range of information on any field you can imagine.
Technology for example, has millions of websites to get information from. Here are a few that I found to be quite useful and in certain ways quite unique in the information and the approach in which they deliver it.
Ars Technica
The standard practice for news sites these days is to be a mile wide and an inch deep-write as many short posts as possible. Ars has always gone in the opposite direction, with refreshingly insightful reporting and commentary on the tech industry.
CNET
CNET has great tech news and reviews, and this enormous technology network is also breaking new ground in Web video, live broadcasting, and audience interaction.
Engadget
In many ways, Engadget is setting the standard not just for the blogosphere, but for the whole tech media world. The site covers the world of tech gadgets with a level of skill and enthusiasm that is hard to match.
Instructables
Build things of limited usefulness out of household objects! That’s the idea behind this fun, geeky Do-It-Yourself site. Browse for project ideas or just enjoy the weird obsessions of the DIY community.
LifeHacker
LifeHacker is an award-winning daily blog that features tips, shortcuts, and downloads that help you get things done smarter and more efficiently. Lifehacker launched in January 2005, and now ranks as one of the top-linked blogs on the Internet. Optimize your entire online and offline life with this site’s incredibly useful tips and how-tos. Plenty of fun!
SourceForge.net
Looking for free software that will make the difference? SourceForge has you covered by offering a huge library of free, open-source software, and the opportunity to upload your own projects. SourceForge.net is the world’s largest open source software development web site. As of February, 2009, more than 230,000 software projects have been registered to use our services by more than 2 million registered users, making SourceForge.net the largest collection of open source tools and applications on the net.
TechCrunch
Though the dollars aren’t swirling around Silicon Valley like they were a couple years ago, there are still leaks and rumors to report, mergers to scrutinize, and startups to evaluate. TechCrunch is on top of it, with an unparalleled network of loose-lipped informants that ensures that Michael Arrington gets the story first.
TinyChat
You need to have a quick conversation with multiple co-workers. Except some of them are working from home. Rather than try to get all your various IM services to cooperate in creating a multi-person chatroom that probably won’t work anyway, jump on TinyChat and make an instant chat room that even supports audio and video. |
