I've been meaning to stop reading TC, but the question is what do I replace it with? Already read th Verge, Ars Technica...found that TechDirty covers a lot about what I'm concerned with
I've added PandoDaily to my list -- which contains the same sources you've listed.
Only an opinion, but PandoDaily seems to have adopted the worst parts of TechCrunch. It's practically VC backed advertising.
I don't want another TC type, I've found I've become tired of hearing who was acquired or who raised how much
i don't really agree with that. while there is overlap with TC in terms of 'heres a flashy new startup,' their general technology articles, tend to be better written and more interesting than TC.
