I scan through hundreds of articles daily from these blogs/websites to keep up with innovation and technology.

I subscribe to the sites’ RSS feeds using Google Reader.  More and more people are saying that RSS is dead, and that Twitter is the way to go – I don’t know who those people are, because I can’t live without my RSS feeds.   It is an efficient way to scan hundreds of headlines daily, and in many cases you can read entire articles without leaving the Reader.  Its my insurance to make sure I don’t miss something (though I do dread opening it up after a few days offline to see the dreaded “1,000+ new items” to read).
