Top Online Blogs on Internet Technolgy


This is a list of what i consider the best blogs and websites that are foresed on internet technolgy. I read most of these sites daily.


This blog focuses on technology news and information. The articles range from news, reviews and guides on issues such as computer hardware and software, science, technology policy, and video games. Ars Technica is known for its in-depth features and long articles that go into specific detail on their subjects. Their stories are unique and not commonly found on the internet. I especially enjoyed the technical analysis used in their articles. In particular their tech policy and telecom sections are one of the best on the net. These types of issues are a very important to me, I hope to include them in my blog.



Engadget is a technology blog network made up of four different blogs. All of the blogs are greard towered  daily up to the minute and late breaking new of coverage of gadgets and consumer electronics. Their blogs includes Engadget Classic -- the original blog reporting on all different types of consumer electronics, Engadget Mobile -- focused on cell phones and mobile tech, Engadget HD -- HDTV and video services, and Engadget Alt -- everything form NASA space news to manned multicopters. They frequently report about industry leaks, rumors, product announcements and FCC filings. I find myself most interested in Engadget Mobile because I find my self wanting the newest cell phone, they are the best places to fined out that's the next big smart phone.


The blog offers technology news and analysis, with a focus on new start up companies, products, and websites. They focuses on news scoops , they tend to run stories that a lot of other blogs don’t run. They’re not always right, but always interesting and frequently first to publish. What I find interesting about techcrunch is that they skirt the lines between gossip and news, especially when they talk about the people behind the companies in Silicon Valley.


Written by Dan Jasper the CEO of Sonic.net, one of the largest independent ISP (Internet Service Provider) in Northern California. The blog focuses on issues like Internet privacy, consumer rights and telecommunications. The blog offers a unique view of the telecommunications industry form the point of a insider. What I find most fascinating about the blog is how Sonic.net looks at itself compared to the rest of the industry, especially their much larger competitors, and the struggles they have had to gone through to find new customers and rollouts there servers.


This blog offers analysis and opinions on startups, new technologies, broadband and online games. Their audience includes technology industry leaders, venture capitalists, and entrepreneurs. Their articles are more in depth than most tech blogs and offices a more industry focused approach. I find their broadband section extremely interesting. Their writing style makes complicated business and technology concepts easy to understand. They have a great ability of taking dry research papers and showing the reader the impact on business and society in a interesting manner.



Wired is a monthly magazine, on-line periodical and blog. They report on how new and developing technology affects culture, the economy, and politics. They’re known for coining new terms. Since they have been around since the early ninetys they are the oldest blog on my list. The reason I find them interesting and useful is because the credibility of the stories on Wired assures me they have done their best to fully research the topic on hand.




The blog provides news, insight, and analysis of current events in both the United States and worldwide telecommunications markets. The reason I like this blog is because it is focused on a single subject, mainly the telecommunications business. Many of the articles are ones that tend to be more obscure but very interesting nonetheless.


 
The New York Time and the San Jose mercury news are  how the general public views technology. Bits cover business, innovation, technology and society. Their bits.blog is made up of the writers from the New York Time writing in a blog style, but many of their articles end up in their print editions of the paper as well. Because the Mercury New is base in the center of the tech sector they run story that other newspapers wont.



Even though this is not technically a blog, but I find myself learning about a lot of technology stories from them. Twit is a video and audio podcast network. Currently the network hosts nineteen podcasts covering various topics including the internet, computer security, Microsoft, Apple, and current technology news. They both have weekly and daily formats. The two podcasts that I would recommend are: This Week in Tech and Tech News Today.
