Where do you go for news when you've read all posts on the YC frontpage?
this is my flow HN frontpage > HN new > techcrunch >venturebeat or gigaom> afterwards I find myself sort of stuck. NYT and Wired most interesting articles have already been posted on HN. Where else do u go?

- jgrahamc 19y agoFrankly, I never read all the stories on the YC front page. If I did I'd consider it a bad sign that I was procrastinating.
- rokhayakebe 19y agoFigurative speech. I read all the stories that catch my attention (maybe 1/5).
- swombat 19y agoYou go do some friggin' work you procrastinator!
- rokhayakebe 19y agoi totally agree. unfortunately this is how i earn part of my income. reading all sort of tech news, gathering the info, and use it to help clients get on the boat.
- technoguyrob 19y agoThat's fine. Please, though, write properly (i.e., capitalization and spelling). You can take the time. We are a community that would really, really prefer it.
- rokhayakebe 19y ago"we". I think your comment implies that you are a veteran of this community and that I am the fresh rookie who needs guidance. Well, I guess you have learned quite a lot in the last 58 days and 12 submissions to be in a position to "we" me. Seriously, I am going to try to make you happy and write properly, but in return I am hoping you will tone your expectation as far as grammar and spelling a tiny bit. Look at the design of this site, it eliminates anything not necessary, but if you must insist that I hit shift about 11 times, just so you understand me no more than if I did not, then I will. Lastly since you are that upset about the capitalization I would suggest you stop looking at your username because your golden rule doesn't apply there, and neither does it on the reply button. EDIT: Even the sentences in your comment are not well structured.
- chrisbroadfoot 19y agoUse moar paragraphs.
- rokhayakebe 19y agowhat is "moar"? Drink your own koolaid
- jkush 19y agoI think he's referring to your usage of "u". Adding four characters to your title isn't that hard, and the above poster "newbie" or not is right, I think we'd all prefer to see "you" instead of "u".
- AndyKelley 19y ago"u've" has got to be the most interesting grammatical construct I've seen online. I mean look at it, it's like he's trying to be correct, but not at the same time.

- swombat 19y agoIf your job is to read news for research then perhaps you should get on the case and do your own evaluation of the best sources of news for your research.
- rokhayakebe 19y agoDude, I am not asking you to tell me how to improve my job. Maybe in another post I will. If you cannot answer my question, then you should hold your peace forever. I am not interested in your advices. Post news links or Comment on someone else's posts. that's all.
- hollywoodcole 19y agoYou just Lost 22 Karma for not taking a suggestion. Constructive criticism is not a bad thing.
- breily 19y agoRead a book. Also, whenever I read a good blog post I add the feed to Google Reader, so I have a ton of those. Email me if you want some. Reddit/programming is usually good for something too.
- icky 19y ago> Where do u go for news when u've read all posts on the YC frontpage? "u"? I guarantee that if there were some even cooler place than HN for smart people to gather, I wouldn't ruin it by telling "u"!
- rokhayakebe 19y agoif some1 is offended by "u" than they r clearly complicatd and taking life a bit too seriously. and besides isn't this web 2.0 where we have flickR and Youniversity I think those are more morphed than my "u"
- kyro 19y agohaha srsly
- rms 19y agoYeah, it's definitely an elitist thing.
- icky 19y agoHN is an elitist community, and it's that way for good reason, IMO.
- shiranaihito 19y agoThis is more about how people present themselves. If you use proper punctuation, capitalization, good grammar and make clear sentences, you will appear to be civilized. Civilized people respect other civilized people, so if you appear to be civilized, people are more likely to listen to what you say. Comments on YouTube are a great example of people making themselves look.. extremely uncivilized.
- rokhayakebe 19y agor u kidding me?
- fizz 19y agoTo my own site where I aggregate lots of feeds that I like and where I put up various links I like to browse. http://filtercurve.com http://filtercurve.com
- rokhayakebe 19y agothanks for http://filtercurve.com/aggregator/news http://filtercurve.com/aggregator/news . i got enough to go for another hour.
- jk 19y agoYour color selection was painful to my eyes. I use firefox. But somehow you pallete of blue on black was really annoying. I am sorry but my reaction is so strong, I cannot imagine why you would do that.
- fizz 19y agoBelieve it or not it looks just how I like. But I plan to make the theme selectable on the site at some point and I could make the default theme more conservative. I use firefox too. I'm a programmer and look at screens late in to the night and bright sites are painful to my eyes after about 10pm. I love to read the feeds on a dark subdued screen rather than on a site crowded with distractions and colors. Sorry to annoy you, maybe it's like a song that annoys you the first time you hear it and then later you can't get enough it is so refreshing and different. :)
- danielha 19y agoRead less, do more
- jrockway 19y agoExactly. My response was going to be "make your own news."
- technoguyrob 19y agoFunny, Dan, considering your profile comment: Daniel Ha, former #1 on the leader board. I will make my return. One day.
- lg 19y agois it inconsistent? i'm in the same boat: used to waste a lot of time, now buckling down to get something done, and i'll waste time again once i'm filthy rich.
- rokhayakebe 19y agowhat if reading is doing? reading is (can be)very productive. Take an analyst who reads a tone of data and makes decision for a company. Reading in this case is very much like doing, because without it he could not make any decision. Of course you could argue, he can simply use a decision making software, but what does the software do? READ data and make decision based on what it READ.
- jrockway 19y agoLet's face it. Most of the "reading" people do online is in the form of "omg pictures of lolcats". There is no analysis going on here, it's just time killing.
- shafqat 19y agoi spend way too much time reading on newscred. its my startup, so i'm biased. but losing track of time and getting hooked is a good sign for the product i guess.
- Dylanfm 19y agoAfter my RSS feeds have been dealt with, I have a ton of links saved in my Instapaper account to read... then there are the pdfs, not to mention the books... Oh, and I haven't even got to the work yet! (p.s. - Instapaper.com, I love you)
- rms 19y agoReddit, slashdot, boingboing
- pierrefar 19y agoI make my own news. I work.
- xenoterracide 19y agoI feel like being lazy in my answer. http://xenoterracide.blogspot.com http://xenoterracide.blogspot.com has links on the right of places I read.
- maurycy 19y agoI go to economist.com, or read the paper version of The Economist.
- kleevr 19y agoThere's a subscription I need to renew...
- delackner 19y agoI think you are getting a lot of negative feedback here because when there is an avalanche of articles available to read, the more interesting question is how do you filter it all down to just a few useful ones. Even with Hacker News being the highest signal to noise site I read currently, the vast majority of articles are noise (to me). I would love to see a "mark all as read" button on the front page, which would ensure I never see any of those articles on the front page again.
- foulmouthboy 19y agoTo answer your question with a question, where do you want to go? You don't really specify where your interests lie or what type of "news" you're looking for. I could tell you where I go, but unless you're into the exact same things that I'm into, you're just going to be bored. I don't think anybody's really looking to plan your day for you.
- epi0Bauqu 19y agohttp://watrcoolr.us http://watrcoolr.us I made it for myself. It is intended to contain the most interesting stories at the moment. It is updated every 10 min with the top 3 stories from a bunch of most emailed type feeds (that I have tweaked over time), sorted by when the story was noticed first. I use it as my homepage. The latest story comes up automatically. Occasionally I use the keyboard shortcuts (arrow keys, r -- see bottom right) to review the rest. If anyone uses it, feed ideas are always appreciated.
- hendler 19y agoNothing particularly insightful for you in my sites, although I tend to like to cross fertilize - news from outside tech informing what I do in tech. mashable, slashdot Non tech - news aggregation like yahoo and google. Twitter, facebook, linkedin.

- fizz 19y agoNicely done. I find the issue of how to design the interface of a site like this very interesting. Cool to see other approaches.
