I really like the guys at Short Form Blog, who have a really great, attractive-looking approach to aggregating the day's news online. http://www.shortformblog.com

ShortFormBlog is on my list too, along with a ton of feeds in Reader, a handful of Tumblr blogs, TechMeme, and the New York Times.

I subscribe (i.e. physically) to The Economist and GQ. I'm subscribed to 243 feeds in Google Reader, of which maybe 50-67% are still updated. Reader tells me I 'read' 7,189 items in the past 30 days. Usually I skim headlines and look for interesting things. My favorite feeds right now are my city's alt weekly newspaper's blog, my neighborhood's unofficial blog ( http://capitolhillseattle.com/ ), James Altucher, Ben H…

I wrote http://bit.ly/kJdNr4 in 5 minutes to quickly scan the headlines from my favorite blogs and pick what to read. It's been really effective.

http://roem.ru/ (in russian)

A site with news and inside stories on Russian web businesses. It's not technical and pretty narrow, on other hand - big business owners and managers routinely write there (for example, Pavel Durov, creator of Russian social network #1, wrote a few articles).
