Re: Ask HN: Apart from Hacker News, what else you read?

In order of priority:

1. gmail. I still have a manageable amount of email, and I enjoy my inbox. My best conversations happen on it. I leave my inbox empty every night.

2. hacker news

3. arc forum and, recently, factor archives

4. google reader. I subscribe to 150 low-volume feeds that I want to read every last thing on. They generate about 25 articles a day.

5a. I intermittently read every single comment on HN for periods of time using http://hackerstream.com (disclosure: I built this with a friend)

5b. I intermittently scan high-volume feeds on http://readwarp.com (disclosure: my site)

My reading's gotten streamlined since I separated high-volume and low-volume sources in my mind (I even wrote a rant about this epiphany: http://akkartik.name/blog/2009-05-19-21-30-46-soc). High volume sources are all in 5 above, and as new ones come up I'll build specialized tools for them.
