FTC Disclosures Made Simple For Bloggers With Conflicts
I don't mean to go back to a place I've done work for, but Ars Technica is a lot more technical and in-depth than those sites. Not only do they really only cover a very small subset of what I would consider "tech news", I don't see a large majority of the content there going beyond scratching the surface of most topics.
A few other sites I find to be good tech sites are TechDirt, TechLiberation, and GigaOm's stuff. There are very few sites like these, and it's sad, but it's the reality we live with online these days.
I have not heard of TechLiberation, so I will check that out. TechDirt and GigaOm tend to be a little different as well, but are good sites in their own right. I really just wanted to point out the difference between some technical news sites that people talk about a lot, and a site like Yahoo which is what more mainstream users would read.
We go live to the world next wednesday, if you want a sneak peek at what the hell I am talking about let me know. scott ~at~ regator.com cheers
fingers crossed... ;)

Thanks for the post and the follow up comment.
I agree, the early adopters read & recycle the same news and what's new quickly becomes old. We forget that most people don't even know what we're talking about. But it's the Internet, we're not only used to things changing quickly - we expect it.
Plus, it doesn't really help most people to know about all of this. Not very practical. Marketers should care. Oh, and everyone who bookmarks web sites should use Delicious. Beyond that, it's just fun.
When blogging was new all I wanted to do was talk about it. Now I'd rather teach these things than write or talk about them.
Thanks for your insightful post - it greatly expanded on mine.
