Web Journals by Pros Are a Font of Insight "Tech 'bloggers' (that's really what they call themselves) are most often industry pros who keep their Weblog as a hobby-something to do at 2:40 a.m. While some of the sites offer straight tech news, most are sprinkled with a lot of personality, authoritative firsthand information, and fresh insights. With so many tech magazines out of business (we're not naming names), these e-newsletters, once solely for tech heads, are becoming mandatory information sources for the mainstream."

This is what I was trying to say on the ILA RTSF list last week. I don't really read tech magazines anymore, and while I have a core set of mailing lists to which I'm subscribed, I get most of my news, tech tips, and insights from blogs now.
This is part of a larger phenomenon I've noticed in my life that I plan to write an essay about soon.
