I tend to have a select number of sites that I visit a few times a day that tend to give me all the information that I feel I need (most of them based around technology). Some are very similar and offer some very interesting points of views, some I just enjoy reading.
________________________________________________________________________________________
So Here are my top five Blogs that I read (in no particular order):
Engadget is great as it culminates the most important tech news stories all in to one place. Even those from their sister sites such as TUAW (See Below). They have a crack team of bloggers who have a genuine interest in what they are writing about. I often find there posts to be very in depth and there live coverage of events great (such as Apple Events). I highly recommend the blog, but I highly doubt that you have not at least heard of it.
Extra Life is the best blog/web comic I
have ever seen. I have mentioned them before, but I thought that I'd go
in to more depth. The comics take on issues from gaming, to the search
for Dean Cain (Go read the last few comics if you don't get what I'm
going on about 
)
The blog is also fantastic because of a lot of the content and links
are user submitted and very funny. Scott Johnson the mastermind behind
Extra Life is one of the most talented web comic artists I have come
across (and there have been many) SO I highly recommend it and hope
that it continues for a very long time. Scott also does some very cool
free avatars which I have used on many occasions.
I first found out about Major Nelson's (MN) blog when I was looking at buying an Xbox 360. Since then then I check out MN for the latest market place news and arcade games and also his fantastic podcast/blogcast there we get to here some great interviews. MN works at Microsoft games devision ad is the community manager (?) which helps as we get to here from the people working within the Games Devision and see some very cool stuff. And if you very wondering Major Nelson is Larry's gamertag.
Doug who runs Webmacster is great. He manages to write some very opinionated stuff (thats by no means a bad thing) and seems to have the ability to do what no other man can do and shake off Steve Jobs' Reality Distortion field and look at the facts of most Apple products. He is currently doing a mass of reviews of various apps for the mac that are very detailed and I suggest you check them out.
I linked the other day to Glenn when I
did my first weekly wallpaper, and he is a prime example of a blog
creating their own content (which I find d a great challenge) I liked
his series on starting a blog and mac setups and the interviews with
their owners. Glenn also does a very good video show on YouTube called
(very appropriately) The Glenn Wolsey Show. He also has a mac pro (also
called by some - The Four Core Whore
) which allows him to do some great work with photos in Aperture and he
runs a Desktop Friday feature, and one of his desktops I'm using right
now 
So check out Glenn's blog.
More importantly, what blogs do you read?
