Alas, as a regular reader of Slashdot since long; and some El Reg, and some Heise Online (with a brief existence of Polish branch) in the past, I didn't know that a site called Techdirt.com existed.
It looks somehow familiar to /. UX wise and hosts some interesting authors (the thread about social networks by @mmasnick has caught my attention) so I'm adding it to my RSS feed.
While we're at it, I'm still looking at DistroWatch weekly, long before Ubuntu was a thing ;-P (me myself becoming actually anti-ubuntu-ish nowadays due to their sharp turn to RHEL mindset)
