I read a blog post the other day on the LessEverything blog, and it got me thinking about how many sites are out there that are great sites that I don’t look at regularly, or that I’m completely unaware of. It struck me that I was probably missing out on a bunch of really cool stuff. I’ll admit that I’m not much of a fan of reading, but I do love technology, and everything related to the web. It’s constantly changing, and constantly moving forward so it’s very easy to fall behind. So what does one do?
I wish things were a little different, but down here in Jax we’re not exactly the technology hub that I was in the middle of when I was in DC. There are so many ridiculously smart people there, and I was constantly surrounded by them. Don’t get me wrong, there are a number of very intellectual people here as well, but they are more scarce. (A little disclaimer: there are probably way more then I’m aware of - I just haven’t met them yet. I’m working on that.) That being the case I really try to do whatever I can to stay on top of trends, new technology, and new businesses. To do this I depend on my RSS feeds. With Google Reader, I’m able to get access to my feeds anytime anywhere - it’s awesome. Below are some of the feeds that I read regularly, but I’m curious what other people read to stay up on everything, and how they get that information. Let me know.

So…what do you read, and how do you read it?
