I recently co-taught a class on entrepreneurship with Jim Poss for Babson College's Bulgarian Young Leaders Group in San Francisco. One of the students, a software developer, asked me what my routine was and how I stayed on top of all the tech trends. Many of us take for granted the resources we regularly turn to in order to stay current. So here is a list of the sites I visit with regularity, sometimes too much:
- https://www.drudgereport.com
- https://www.reddit.com/r/technology
- https://www.reddit.com/r/science
- https://www.reddit.com/r/politics
- https://www.reddit.com/r/worldnews
- https://news.ycombinator.com
- https://www.techcrunch.com
- https://www.wired.com
- https://finance.google.com
- Huffington Post
- https://robots.thoughtbot.com
- https://signalvnoise.com/
- http://www.quicksprout.com/blog/
- http://blog.hubspot.com/
There are obviously more, but I read these almost daily.
Another fun list are resources. My business partner Mark Hurwitz and I use scores of different tools, he is more of a productivity geek than I am, but here are my favs:
- Toggl
- Evernote
- Screenhero (now part of slack)
- Slack
- Quickbooks
- Adobe Creative Suite
- RescueTime
- Cloud App
- Cinch
- Mint
- Skitch
- Atom
- SourceTree (not a huge fan)
- Unsplash
- freeconferencecall.com
- Google Apps
- Divshot
- Rhapsody (i know)
- SquareSpace
- Shopify (huge fan)
- Square
- Chrome
- LucidChart
- VirtualBox
- Ubuntu
- CentOS
- Debian
- Fluid
- Trello
- SketchUp
I could probably have provided links, maybe I will make this a page and add a table at some point.
