I read lots of blogs and news sites, and am subscribed to many more that I read when I get a chance. I don't have the speed reading talent that Scoble has, so I have found myself focusing on fewer blogs and sites.
My new favorite bloggers
Scott Maxwell a Boston based VC writes Now What? Scott is a deep thinker and only writes when he has something profound to say. Lately he has had a lot of really good stuff. I particularly liked this one about how to get things UNdone.
Robin Reports from In The Thick Of It is a blog about life after 30, dealing with teenagers, divorce, and all the stuff that happens. Robin is a new blogger with lots of experiences to share about things we all deal with along the way. I liked this one about New Driver In The House. My son got his drivers license the next day.
Paul Kedrosky writes Infectious Greed. He is a VC, media personality, and public speaker. I have been reading Paul's blog for a long time but it is now one of my favorite, must read first, blogs.
TechMeme is my number one must read site for technology news and blogs. TechMeme updates constantly throughout the day keeping the most discussed stories at the top, introducing new stories, and moving older stories down the page.
Mark Cuban writes Blog Maverick, an appropriate name for this maverick thinker. Mark sold Broadcast.com to Yahoo and now owns the Dallas Mavericks. Mark is another guy who only writes when he has something deep to say...which is about once a day.
Henry Blodget, the former Wall Street analyst writes Internet Outsider. Henry gives a finance/investment perspective to mostly technology related companies. Always a good read.
Brian Halligan and Dharmesh Shah together they write OnStartups, a great blog for startup entrepreneurs.
My longtime VC favorites
- Brad Feld - Feld Thoughts
- Fred Wilson - A VC
- Rick Segal - The Post Money Value
My Favorites that write way too much to keep up with every day
- Mike Arrington - TechCrunch
- Robert Scoble - Scobleizer and his new ScobleShow are must reads and "views"
- Om Malik - GigaOM
- Richard MacManus - Read/Write Web
What are your favorites? How many blogs do you read? Do you listen to podcasts? How about webcast videos?

I like to read about Business, Entrepreneurship, SaaS and technology overall. Other than the usual suspects like Techcrunch and Scobleizer that you mention, I also love to read:
- Darmesh’s blog about startups
- Guy Kawasaki’s blog (blog.guykawasaki.com)
- Sinclair Schuller’s blog (SaasBlogs.com)
- Phill Wainewright’s blog (blogs.zdnet.com/saas)
- and Nick Carr’s blog (RoughType.com)

Well...since you asked, Don, my regular reads, all about equally valuable and useful to me, are:
-Techcrunch (while continuing to hope Michael will re-think his acceptance/support of pornography)
-Techmeme
-GigaOm
-Yours (believe it or not)
-Cuban's
-PatentlyO (these are one smart group of patent/IP experts)
-Search Engine Land
--Though may not be "bloggy" enough to be considered a blog: DNJournal (for most any/everything domains)
I do very few podcasts or webcasts; just too much more time out of the day...

Steve, there's nothing wrong with pornography.
Don, can you post these feeds in an OPML file so I can just import them to Google Reader?

I'm not going to take up a lot of space on Don's excellent blog to explain again why pornography is wrong, Anonymous; since I've done so already at Techcrunch; except to say that your unwillingness to stand up for your sad and unfortunate belief that something so wrong could be right by publicly disclosing your name...speaks far, far louder of the truth than does your words...

The question is not only what and who but how.

So many blogs, so little time. But some merit closer reading than others.
