I currently rely on a mixture of mailing lists, twitter and a couple of blogs.
What do you use for your GIS media intake, and why?

1I voted to close this topic because it is asking for value judgement and cannot be answered definitively. At the very least, it should be a community wiki. – JasonBirch Jul 24 '10 at 08:00

Lots of information in GIS Lounge.
Since I am working with ArcGIS products, I read ESRI blogs.
All news and fun things about Google products can be found in Google Maps Mania.

I use Feedly, which I believe was the successor of Google Reader, when it ceased to exist. However, I liked Google Reader better, as it was easier to save the read material in different categories.

I like the podcasts from directions magazine. I can't really tell how small (or big) they are as a company. I'm from Germany, they don't sell the magazine here.
The podcast is in dialog mode between two editors, and they usually talk about a lot of products, technologies, trends. I liked how they compared their predictions for a calendar-year with the actual results after that year has ended.
