How many news sites do you read?

The time management problem

[AjiNIMC]

Hi to all,

Part 2 of the post, the summary
Do we need to read so much to keep ourselves updated? I love reading all the updates but love even more to work on new things. I want to do both, keeping myself updated (as much as possible) and working as a new recruit. Do anyone else face this dilemma? How do you manage your time with ever growing blogosphere and knowledge packed Internet social circle?

Part 1 of the post (ignore if busy)
Happy Holi to everyone (an Indian festival). I am a programmer who later got shifted to marketing and now works on HR management (I am loving this work as I can understand all people from Tech to Finance to Marketing Dept).

With all these work I have a habit of keeping myself undated. I read around 10 blogs (from all sectors), few news sites (from almost all sectors), one newspaper and few weekly magazines. For last few days I am very busy with few innovative works with Tech team ("Simplifying forums and blogs", with a lot of discussions with nerds :), time consuming stuff) and some HR work.
part 1 ends

Thanks
Aji

Ill often read MSN news, its the only one I use

For world news I watch and read the BBC....they are the only credible source IMHO!

For opinions I watch/monitor 20+ Internet sites and try hard to pick the bones out of them.......tricky, but worth the effort IMHO!

If you live in the USA, news is a nonsence....you have to look at global sources and sites.

But i think there must be some of top websites which you all must be reading or pingning each day on regular basis , just curious to know those website

each time some one ( like Mr Brett ) picks up some article and posts over here some link i get astonished why i dont read those articles on regular basis and why am not able to find those good reading material

which are your fav reading tech , non tech general websites

not able to find those good reading material

I think the answer to this is multiple sources, developed over time. I've only recently started on this whole Social Networking idea with any passion.. MySpace doesn't count in this context. Part of the process of finding new sources of information is aided greatly by the 'trust' and/or votes that other people give to the source. And it's a good way to find obscure sources, but you still need a little luck there, or else they'll remain buried in all the noise.

I share grandpa's thinking, which is why I check in here at foo and WW in general--looking for that real world twist. I read eWeek, too, for the same reason.

As for general news, it's the WSJ and I have tweeked my Yahoo news page to show me headlines from NYT (which I get at the end of my driveway each morning, too), AP, CNN and Reuters. I also look at the "most popular" on NYT, CNN and at the WSJ, too.

But, truth be told, I generally read only two or three articles, usually on the WSJ.
