The tubes are boring me I've read everything on the internets, which means I need some new sites recommendations to add to my "daily reads."→[More:]

Here's what I have so far:

AskMeFi
MeFi
MeCha
CL (Springfield)
Digg
Google Blogoscoped
Springwise
The Cool Hunter
My Yahoo! (news)
The Superficial
I Watch Stuff
Valleywag
TechCrunch
Waxy links

I have a taste for sites with a tech bent, but I also like other sites as well. Any suggestions on what I can add?

You could always take on Project Gutenberg.

ALDaily, when I remember to check it, is generally interesting.

I love ALDaily too.

If you read The Superficial you might like other gossip sites?

A daily read of mine is design*sponge. If you like that sort of thing I have a lot of design links....bazillions. I would also suggest searching at delicious. I can never remember where to put the periods in delicious.

Coudal is an awesome site. Frequently changing, literate, interesting content.

posted by Miko 14 July | 13:24

Definitely need a few good funny sites in there!

I recommend:

Defective Yeti
The Sneeze (You MUST read "Steve, Don't Eat It"
Mimi Smartypants
Cockeyed

If you need more gossip:
Defamer
Go Fug Yourself

I would also like to add that if anyone can suggest some new tech-y, science-y blogs/sites for me, I would appreciate it. I'm also looking for sites with a lot of interesting content, that I can hang out at reading for good stretch.

Eid - while I was temping that one week, I read Gutenberg every day - I finished HG Wells' Time Machine and reread a Bobbsey Twins book I had owned as a kid. It freaked me out to see how racist those books were - I certainly didn't remember noticing that!

Despite the 1998 look and occasional charges of anti-semitism (I would say he's not pro Isreal), Robot Wisdom has links to obscure and interesting stuff I don't see anywhere else. I've been reading it since the late '90s.

Have you tried stumbleupon yet?

I have just under 800 links there if you wanted to check them out.

I'll second Miko's Coudal link - they're very good.

Arts and Letters Daily. News, magazines, columns, reviews, essays. I can not recommend this enough.

Gaming (all platforms) and tech news: Blue's News

Newseum - Newspapers from across the world.
