How to stay updated effectively with news, blogs and socials

TEN YEARS ago I read: - Some magazines (Byte, DDJ, Communication ACM and few more) - Some great books (Code Complete, Pragmatic Programmers,....)

..and reading them I got ideas and intuitions, had more time and globally I was "happy"

TODAY: - I read in a compulsive way a lot of blogs. Most of the contect I got is not original or of bad quality - I follow social network receiving back some good link with a lot of noise - There are a lot of books but it's hard to find good stimulating books (technical and business)

...and I feel a lack of ideas and thoughts

What's going on? have I to give up with news? Have I to exploit it better ? Have I to reduce it ?

What's your experience ? What's your daily reading practice ?
