It's a lot more general the linux-specialised sites without being an M$ 
stooge, which is why I like it.  Generally if I find something on there 
which piques my interest I'll go and look elsewhere for more info - 
usually through google which rarely if ever has let me down.

Occasionally I'll check LWN too.

Haven't really touched the blog scene TBH and I don't read slashdot for 
reasons we talked about in the meeting. (ie it's full of zealots)
