Where Do You Get Your IT News? 85
whiggy asks: "I am a network admin in a small company with predominantly Windows systems, with minimal Linux exposure. I am attempting to organize myself in order to be more productive. Of course, one of the things on my list is to keep up with the latest technology trends. I have several sites in my bookmarks that I visit daily, but I am just curious what other good resources are out there. What are your favorite sites (or other resources) you get your morning news from? Which ones are the 'must haves'?"

There are any number of "general" tech news sites, but some have fairly specific topics - you should find some that cover your avenue of interest (or scrape Google News using a search for whatever). Mine:
4guysfromrolla.com, various google feeds (APIs, webmaster central), devshed.com, New Scientist tech site, The Raw Feed, MSDN, technology feed of the local newspaper website...

I believe every important tech news feed I read has been mentioned here already, except for GMSV [svextra.com].

It is routinely dated aggregate at best, where dupes still happen too often and you're being fed fodder without cross-references simply to draw eyeballs (meaning no rhyme or reason behind what gets posted).
Get out and see the www.orld - it is bigger, brighter and more focused than life depicted here, I promise

Apparently, those ads have some content that some filters reject. At my employer, Tom's is blocked because it's categorized as a "malicious web site."
