Where on the Internet do you get your information?

I use the following list of sites. Number 7 will amaze you.

I, too, find that the thoughtful editorial function played by ilxors in sifting information prior to posting it here makes ilx an excellent jumping off spot into the more valuable bits of the web. I appreciate this place (and you people) enormously.

Yeah, the Register do some OK reporting. Their house style is too BOFH-centric for my liking, but as these things go sarcasm overdose is probably one of the least worst things one can encounter when reading tech news...

I love ILX lots and have gotten plenty of good information here, but I also feel like the volume here isn't enough that I can trust threads here to tell me everything I need to know. (If the particular issue I'm delicately dancing around has been brought up on ILX before now, for instance, I've missed it.)

Regarding AT I'm not following the story super closely, and much of what's out there is, surprise surprise, some variety of Internet alarmism, but my general impression at this point, without wishing to get into horrific details, is that there's enough "there" there for me to not want to read that site anymore.

Lol there’s megatons if alarmist hyperbole on here

what this guy said

you guys should spend less time on I Love Music

as someone who posts there about twice a year i wholeheartedly agree

you guys should spend less time on I Love Music

― A is for (Aimless)

but what if i do, in fact, love music

the moreso

xp then I suggest you consume your meed of alarmist musical hyperbole and make no complaint, as others here seem intent on doing, to their everlasting shame.

who was complaining about ilm

ilm >> ile

idgi

it feels to me that there is more enthusiasm on ilm than ile, more of a genuine sense of “I love…” which is thrilling as far as I'm concerned

if music isn’t your thing than *maybe* I can see it being annoying, but if you really do love music it is the best place on the internet

...and the best place for getting information about music

hyperbole and all

poll

nothing more ilx than a question on ilx being answered with 'ilx' and then ilx0rs beefing about which parts of ilx are better than other parts of ilx then someone suggests a poll

it's the circle of life

lol

Weird, I was just reading a similar thread on Metafilter but there it got deep into whether their site is an 'echo chamber' or not. I'd say both this site and that one have filter bubble tendencies but terms like echo chamber are actually pretty nebulous. My immediate reaction to the Metafilter thread was "yeah but ILE is kind of better."

Was also just thinking I should change my bookmark from ILM to ILE. Over the years, the focus of ILM seems to have narrowed considerably, or possibly my tastes have just diverged. Not nearly as interested in old straight white dude music as I used to be. Whereas at a glance the focus of ILE has broadened, or become less of a clique maybe.

I also used to read a lot of different blogs and aggregators, so much of it has moved to the main social media sites now. Shitshow.

SNA dude

i don't know if ilx is an "echo chamber" but i did start a thread asking for good sites for information and immediately everybody started talking about ilx, which kind of wasn't what i was looking for? but ok.

You specifically asked people on ILX where they get their information from tbf

this is true! i should have specified "besides ilx"; i kind of took that for granted!
