As time goes on and the web gets bigger it seems impossible to get the kind of information I want when I want it. There’s just too much bloat on the web and the time it takes to sort through even a tiny portion of it to read about stuff that interests me, well, it just seems like I’m Sisyphus constantly trying to push that friggin’ boulder uphill.

Well I’m sick of it so like others I have found a better way of getting what I want, (especially after that stupid $%#@!ing 7-day waiting period was over.)

I use what’s called Aggregate sites. Websites that parse through all the stories and information out there and serve them up to you like an endless, yet organized buffet. A smorgasboard of relative information served in easily digestible portions for the hungry masses. These aggregate sites are all over the place and there are a lot of them specializing in news, technology, medicine, daily events, etc. In fact one day I fully expect that mischevious imp, Irony, to rear his prankish head and for there to be so many aggregate sites that we need aggregate sites just to keep track of all the aggregrate sites out there…

Who has the time to sort through all the garbage? And even if you had the time who’d want to sift through the entire bloated universe looking for a crumb of interest?

When I want news I use Google News and Reuters.
To keep track of tech I use Gizmodo, Slashdot, the Inquirer and Digg.
If I want hot deals on shiny gadgets it’s Hot-deals, Slick Deals and Techbargains that I trust.

Do you use Aggregate Sites to more easily find the stuff you want to read about? If so, please share them with us! This way we can spend more time on things that matter like making playlists for our iPods…

PS. I’m not providing a link to explain that whole Sisyphus thing, look him up on Google! (And if you have to look him up you’re obviously a product of the current American school system.)
