Think! (It’s not illegal yet)

I’ve been spending too much time in the wrong part of the net. I need your help to get out.

In the dark corners of the early-adopter tech-savvy social-media-oriented (un)professional blogosphere, one can drown in posts about microblogging, personal branding, lifestreaming, blog monetization and twitter-vs-friendfeed. My special (un)favorite is the “N tips to make the most of <buzzword>” category.

One hopes that modern websites are usable enough that we don’t need a constant stream of tips and tricks to learn to use them. And if they aren’t, well then they don’t deserve to be used. Besides, don’t these people know that the worst you can do around new technology is to read a handbook?

So please help me out: recommend a nice site (or two) to read that won’t bombard me with such handicapping content. All interesting topics welcome. The comment box is open.

Thank you very much in advance.
