Where on the Web do you go for good content? Which sites do you find provide high signal-to-noise?

I recently discovered Reddit, a site that provides a list of user-submitted links. The novelty is that if you vote on which you do or don't like, the site both keeps a running tally (providing a "what's hot" list), and it learns your preferences, and will suggest links based on how people who share your tastes have voted.

Another site I check several times a day to get a jump on things is Memeorandum, a site that has some automagic means of selecting "hot" stories, usually picking things up a day or more before they hit the trade press (and up to a week before they show up in print).

Dave, thank you for the links. I spotted a link in Memeorandum to an article entitled What is an unconference? Dave Winer talks about the pitiful state of most conferences. He concludes with the following:

I�ve heard it said many times, by people who had a real unconference experience, that they can never sit in a dark room, with their hands folded, waiting for the Q&A period, listening to a PowerPoint presenter drone on and on, while the heads bob up and down and a dull roar of enthusiastic discussion can be heard in the distance, in the hallway.

Mr. Winer says more. This blog entry is worth checking out. What he didn't know was that at AYE we are doing what he wants and we are doing it experientially, which it makes it more powerful in my mind.

For pictures of the moon and commentary, I highly reccommend Chuck Wood's site, Lunar Photo of the Day --CharlesAdams 2006.03.10

I like Kevin Kelly's Cool Tools website. He has a post about sites like the two Dave mentions in the first reply to this topic. -RonPihlgren 2006.03.12
