Researching current tech topics

I figured since I am doing a similar project each year, it may be helpful to provide a list of sites that may be helpful to you as you research your topic. Remember, we are focusing on "How has technology changed the way we communicate and interact with information?"

Check out the following sites (all descriptions are taken from the "About Us" page):

• Crunchbase (wiki) - CrunchBase is the free database of technology companies, people, and investors that anyone can edit.
• TechCrunch - a leading technology media property, dedicated to obsessively profiling startups, reviewing new Internet products, and breaking tech news.
• Mashable - the top source for news in social and digital media, technology and web culture.
• ReadWriteWeb - One of the most popular technology blogs in the world, known for offering insightful analysis about each day's Internet industry news.
• Gizmodo - blog about consumer electronics

And don't forget, you can always:

• Try searching popular news places - (Newsweek, Time, New York Times, Gizmodo, (ex: "Foursquare +Chicago Tribune")
• Use other media, such as videos (TED talks, YouTube interviews) or podcasts (KQED, NPR)
