Are you suffering from information overload? For my own bookmarking benefit, I scanned the front page of MeFi and picked the best links. The list is pretty impressive. Consider this a massive condensed version of what several of you consider to be the premier news sources and content providers on the Internet. Did I miss any? Should some not belong on the list? Got milk? [MORE]
Salon - a high quality content provider
Oh bosh. You know Slate has, if not less silliness, higher-level silliness that Salon. Don't know why it's generally ignored.

Okay so they're not all ideal high quality content. Some of them are just neato. =) The list isn't a 'best of' specifically. It's a personal scan. Hopefully more people will respond and suggest additions and subtractions. Slate's better than Salon. I agree with you there.

Slashdot is a personal favorite, mostly for tech(unix) related discussion, but they also keep up on the relationship between capitalism, politics, big government and the internet and throw in the science news and occasional movie reviews.

My plug's forChristian Science Monitor. Some people may get hung-up on the name, but the CSM has been around for years, has garnered all the standard journalistic kudos, and is still the best source for evergreen news.

Man. Talk about egg on my face... I could have sworn that I posted correctly. Well, I'm still new to this. It's not as elegant, but the link for the CSM is HTTP://www.CSMonitor.com
