A Google reader full of smaller blogs and the mindset that I DONT have to read everything. 3083 unread, as of right now, in fact.
Smaller blogs are generally one-man shows, but that's what makes them special to me, they aren't out to make money, and their opinions (about generally geeky tech things, in my case) are priceless. I don't care if they are the wrong opinions, or daft opinions, just that they are alternative opinions. It helps me see different angles of new technologies, languages and startups.
I love sites like Hacker News, they filter out the good stuff, but at the end of the day its a group opinion, and sometimes even upvoted due to the title or subject, rather than the content of the linked to article.
