I figure my morning routine (when the goal is to get as up-to-speed as I need to be about the world in the most efficient way possible) is the best indicator. When I wake up every morning, I consult the following: 1. My BlackBerry, for several emails that come every morning with tailored news about what's going on in my field. 2. Google News 3. A number of Canada-specific news aggregators 4. The Toronto Star (I don't live in Toronto any more, but I still have some fondness for the paper) 5. HN 6. Twitter So by that count, I'd say the answer is No. I consider HN to be my go-to source for interesting technology-related stories, but not necessarily for current news.
