Tumblr has become a huge source of information for me -- I've never liked the RSS model, where the "unread" count nags at me. On tumblr I just read what's on top, and don't sweat if I miss things -- if it's big news, it'll get reblogged.

On tumblr I subscribe to The Atlantic, Newsweek, the Economist and ShortFormBlog. On top of those, I have a bunch of others who provide art, photography, pictures of puppies and pretty boys. It's the perfect mix :-)

Ars Technica (surprised no one mentioned this one yet), Economist, WSJ, NYT, Phoronix, OSNews, Financial Times. I used to read books, but then college started. Now the only books I read are textbooks. A tragedy.

I am amazed how many people in the field don't read Ars Technica. If there is a better source for quality tech and science news reporting, I haven't found it.

In addition to Ars Technica, I also read Kotaku Australia. I find Mark Serrels' contributions to the Australian edition to be some of the best material on the site.

I read /r/australia as a filter for domestic news (mainly links from The Age, SMH, ABC and Crikey).

I also use Stylebot to hide the comments section on every news site I read regularly, generally nothing good will come of reading them.
