I read TechMeme, Memeorandum, Slashdot, and Digg to get outside of the Scoble bubble. Balance isn’t hard to achieve. I do try to remain pretty balanced across all the tech blogs, though.

[...] posted the other day that Robert Scoble was my news source. Some of you rightly said that I should have balance. Great. [...]

Chris,

You also should throw something in there that is seemingly in now way related to your field at all. Like, lets see, for your whole video-tech-motivation thing…. what about ecology? Find some search threads for ecology, to read everything up on that you can. Then you’ll be learning about something completely outside your scope, that could give you insights into your own little world.

Thanks Chris for more to read in my Google Reader :) Now I subscribe to Scoble’s saved items. For news in the web 2.0 world I read TechCrunch, Mashable and O’Reilly. For new websites I read Killer Startups and Startup Squad. Lastly, I subscribe to Techmeme, Digg, and Megite Technology feeds. A lot is redundant but gives me a pretty good overview of the most popular stories on the web.

Chris – I tend to agree with Goldie. More than one curator makes for more balance. Robert’s pretty influential on what I read these days (not so much as your Trends show) but I find he tends to narrow-cast when he finds a bright shiny object. That’s his prerogative of course and in no way diminishes the value in his links blog in the big picture.

I currently rely on a variety of curators in the different interest areas I’m focused on and, based on what I see in my Reader Trends, they do constitute the majority of where my clickstream originates from.
