I gave up
February 5th, 2007I don’t read digg anymore (gave up on slashdot awhile ago). It was awesome … but it just got too foolish.
Here are some of my new’ish favorite news feeds:
- Really local: The Barometer (campus paper)
- Semi local: The Oregonian
- National with a hint of global: Google news
- Global: BBC news
- Alt view world news: Aljazeera
Some other great feeds….
- Environmental news: Treehugger
- Young people (fresh grads, etc) personal finance: I will teach you to be rich
- The comic: xkcd
I’m looking for a good non-treehugger’ish environmental issues website. Anyone know of a good one? Any other good feeds people would recommend?
BTW: current feed reader of choice: Google Reader — it rules!

By “non-treehugger’ish” do you mean “not connected to treehugger.com” or do you mean “environmental news without an environmentalist angle”?
I read WorldChanging.com and “The Daily Score” from Sightline.org, although they are to some extent less about news and more about discussion of issues and solutions. There is also Grist.org, but I don’t know much about them.
You could get environmental science news without much slant from EurekAlert, which is done by the American Association for the Advancement of Science AKA “the people that put out Science magazine”.
I’ll have to try The Barometer, because unfortunately LBCC’s “The Commuter” web version is limited to PDFs.
Google Reader is good, although I prefer Newsfox with Mozilla^W SeaMonkey.
