Where do you get your Social news?

[Blantonious]

One of the things online that I find very interesting right now, is social news. These are your diggs, reddits, Yahoo Buzz, Propeller and even Slashdots. I typically go to digg and Slashdot to get most of what I'm interested in but I know I am missing out on a whole lot more, that I may just not know about. So I'd like to start a conversation about social news and how you use it.

Here are links to the sites I mentioned.
digg
Propeller
Slashdot
Yahoo Buzz

Also in addition to the social news sites that you use. Do you submit stories? Vote Them up? Or just browse what has been set in front of you?

I tend to do a little of all three and exercise my editorial control to make things I like more popular but mostly I dig through the stuff that has been submitted and read things I'm interested in.

Lately, I've relied on my twitter friends to provide my news. Also, I love twitter's election page with trending topics. http://election.twitter.com/

I have in the past dugg and/or stumbled upon stories, but I haven't in such a long time.

Oh yea good point. Forgot all about Twitter being used as social news outlet. I do get a bunch of stuff from my Tweeps.

www.socialmedian.com is great - I also like to scan Delicious.com for the tag "socialmedia" as there are always great links shared there.

Good thread, Jason!

I'm not sure why I don't use Delicious more often. I've used it in the past and know its a great resource but it just hasn't made it in my daily places of getting information. I think I'm going to make an effort to start using it more.

Social Median looks great. Thanks for that one. I hadn't heard of it before.

For REAL news I go to theonion.com

Only for the REAL stuff though Dave. :-)
