What (or Where) I’m Reading

What (or Where) I’m Reading – Tracey Sheehy

By Tracey Sheehy on February 15, 2011

I’ll read anything. I know it sounds silly but it’s the truth! When I’m on the subway, I read every advertisement; I’ll pick up any newspaper or magazine left on a seat; and I’ll read almost every e-newsletter that pops in my inbox. So when our fantastic web team asked me to write a post about what I am reading – you can understand why I am so torn.

After a long evaluation, I decided to stick to web content and only pick my top three. Let me know what you think. Are these sites you visit, or ones you avoid? I’d love your thoughts – because, obviously, I’m always looking for more. :)

Perez Hilton – For those of you who read this site, you must admit that since Perez recently decided to no longer criticize people, you can obtain much more “real” info here (albeit, you’re missing out on the laughs). Not only do I hear about Justin Bieber dating Selena Gomez – which is quite helpful when I’m watching my tween cousins – but I’ve also read about state legislation, the terrible Tucson situation and even Starbucks kicking off a pilot program for customers to pay with their mobile phones. It’s not all gossip all the time – I promise!
MediaMemo – If there is one tech blogger who can always bring a smile to my face, it is Peter Kafka hands down. His sarcasm and wit coupled with intellect and simple common sense make reading about Hulu’s latest copyright issue, Larry Page’s promotion or even the ever-confusing NBCU/Comcast deal seem like you’re reading a coffee table book. It’s digestible, refreshing and informative. Simply put, it’s my go-to in Google Reader
Newser – There are times throughout the day that I don’t have ten minutes to stop and read a full article. This is when Newser comes in handy. Here I can read about anything from Sarah Palin’s latest snafu to the Australian floods to Gordon Ramsey’s last freak out in about five sentences or less. To top it off, there’s often a funny line found in each. It’s news on the run, with a smile. Perfect.

Now that I’m done writing about where I read – I’m off to visit their sites. Wish me luck!

Looking forward to hearing about your “go-tos!”
