The Supply/Demand curve on this site is simply incredible — very few people are posting links/articles, yet there are tons of hungry entrepreneurs looking for something to read. (the author included)

Warning: do not even think about spamming this site if you want to maintain any sense of credibility in the webapp world.

This is the hot new place for in-the-know web entrepreneurs to hang out and find interesting stuff to buzz about. (reddit is all atheist / politics / comics / funnypics now, though reddit’s still a great site for general news/links)
