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:

  1. https://www.drudgereport.com
  2. https://www.reddit.com/r/technology
  3. https://www.reddit.com/r/science
  4. https://www.reddit.com/r/politics
  5. https://www.reddit.com/r/worldnews
  6. https://news.ycombinator.com
  7. https://www.techcrunch.com
  8. https://www.wired.com
  9. https://finance.google.com
  10. Huffington Post
  11. Flipboard
  12. https://robots.thoughtbot.com
  13. https://signalvnoise.com/
  14. http://www.quicksprout.com/blog/
  15. 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:
