HN Alternatives: Where do you get your news & discussion?
Apart from this site, where do you find interesting news & articles? And where do you go to discuss them?
- I used to subscribe to a bunch of digg feeds, but over the past while have found digg better to skim over when I have a few moments (the noise is too much for my greader!)
- For politics I'm on http://memeorandum.com regularly along with bbc, nytimes, wsj & wpost. So far, the combination gives me enough view points from enough angles. I've paid some attention to http://commondreams.org - it has some great articles, but I need to get into it more.
- I also subscribe to a bunch of blogs in different subjects (some of the top: lifehacker, daring fireball, seth godin, techcrunch) both for the original content as well as the links to the rest of the web.
- And then to top that all off I'm spending more and more time on HN and I subscribe to the delicious hotlist feed.
As far as discussions go:
- I tend to discuss on the sites I'm on, if I feel my comment will help the discussion AND the discussion is valuable. Its mostly some blogs, and HN that I talk/comment on.
- A lot of discussions happen with people I know, via email or facebook or in person.

* Twitter - Friends share links that I like
* Tumblr - As Twitter
I get my tech news from TechCrunch, GigaOm, AllThingsD, AlleyInsider, Mashable, Gizmodo, and Engadget.
1. news.ycombinator.com. The first news site to note is that one I was reading when saw this thread. 2. reddit.com 3. stackoverflow.com - Yeah, it isn't news site. I've mentioned it, because it can be used to find out comments to somewhat appeared by virtue of news. 4. dzone.com - It looks like nobody wants to discuss news on this site. Anyway, there are lots of useful links.
I'm going to extend this list by adding interesting sites which were mentioned anywhere with those ones.
