Technology News Sources<br />

There are many fine telecommunication news sources on <strong>the</strong> <strong>web</strong>, so I will limit my<br />

discussion to a few of <strong>the</strong> best. Users can now subscribe to <strong>the</strong> all of <strong>the</strong><br />

following publications' technology feeds and blogs without registering at <strong>the</strong><br />

various <strong>web</strong>sites. Look for <strong>the</strong> RSS/Atom feed icon &'1 at <strong>the</strong> news <strong>web</strong>sites.<br />

TechNews.com<br />

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/technology/<br />

The Washington Post absorbed Newsbytes to create TechNews, which offers<br />

current headlines, technology news by topic (biotech, telecom, software, Internet,<br />

etc.), and breaking technology news off <strong>the</strong> wire from Reuters. The site now<br />

requires free registration, but both Yahoo News and Google News let you read<br />

full-text TechNews articles without registering. For both Yahoo News and<br />

Google News, <strong>the</strong> search syntax is:<br />

[source:washington_post keyword]<br />

Because of <strong>the</strong> way <strong>the</strong> Post names its links, I have not been able to come up with a<br />

unique keyword to limit <strong>the</strong> query to TechNews articles only. The best way to find<br />

<strong>the</strong>m is to use <strong>the</strong> author's name or a word from <strong>the</strong> title.<br />

TechWeb<br />

http://www.tech<strong>web</strong>.com/<br />

TechWeb is part of <strong>the</strong> CMP Technology Network, a huge enterprise that publishes<br />

InformationWeek, EE Times, and Windows Developer magazines. TechWeb does<br />

not do original reporting; instead, it compiles <strong>the</strong> latest technology news from around<br />

<strong>the</strong> world and updates <strong>the</strong> <strong>web</strong>site continuously. TechWeb is one of <strong>the</strong> single best<br />

sources of technology news on <strong>the</strong> <strong>web</strong>; it and all o<strong>the</strong>r parts of <strong>the</strong> CMP network<br />

are fully searchable.<br />

Wired News<br />

http://www.wired.com/<br />

Wired News, part of <strong>the</strong> Terra Lycos family, has always been known as a slightly<br />

"edgy" site, and <strong>the</strong>re is no doubt <strong>the</strong>ir original tech news features are among <strong>the</strong><br />

most popular and sometimes controversial on <strong>the</strong> <strong>web</strong>. Wired doesn't only cover<br />

technology but brings in all aspects of our "wired" world: culture, business, and<br />

politics as well as technology. Wired also receives breaking news from AP and<br />

Reuters.<br />
