Grabbing the latest interesting facts from tech blogs

Technology is one of the most interesting topics to follow. As technology is constantly evolving, new and exciting things happen every day. It’s fun and exciting to check out the latest headlines to see what’s new, what’s hot, and what’s hot. You can get your daily dose of tech news from a number of sources.

Established tech sites.

These are great tech sites that are well recognized in the industry. Sites like CNET, Tomshardware, etc. offer fresh and interesting news on a daily basis. In fact, some sites are so popular that hardware manufacturers send them free hardware for publishers to test and post reviews on their sites. That means that you, as the reader, get first-hand information about the performance of the latest hardware.

News search engines.

News search engines are not dedicated to technology news, but you can use them to find your favorite news. Just type keywords (eg “latest CPU”) and you’ll be presented with the latest and most relevant news. You can even subscribe to news based on those keywords.

Search for technology blogs.

Technology blog search engines like Technorati are very interesting. They do not work in the same way as search engines. You have to wait for search engines to crawl a site before you get updated content. For blog search engines, the blog actually pings the search engine, letting the crawler know that there is new content. It is interesting to note that blog search engines always tend to spread the word faster than traditional search engines. Perhaps that is why they are gaining popularity.

Technology blog.

From search engines you can easily locate technology blogs. There are thousands and thousands of technology blogs on the Internet. So what is it that separates quality blogs from tech blogs that are not doing very well?

You can usually tell if a blog is quality or not just by reading the first few posts. On the internet, it’s all about content. Then killer content is what you are looking for. For tech blogs, impactful content means more than just being grammatically correct. It also means more than just copying and pasting specs. The specifications of technological devices are important, but once the specifications have been made public, almost all blogs can publish such information. In other words, the information is not unique.

What you want is unique information, information that cannot be easily found anywhere else. For example, a tech blog might select interesting tech gadgets and write exclusive reviews about these gadgets. You can read about the latest voice activated alarm clock, or the latest gaming laptop, iPhone 3G, etc. Since these devices appeal to the masses, you are guaranteed some interesting content. Those are the blogs worth reading and following.

You can then choose to follow those news sources by subscribing to their RSS feeds. You can do this by using an RSS reader. If you don’t want to use a feed reader, you can simply bookmark the sites and visit them at a later date.
