Keeping up to date with the IT industry?

Just wondering how everyone keeps up with the latest info related to IT? I need some newsletters to subscribe to really in order to keep on top of things.

Abit of a cliché, www.google.co.uk

digg.com can have some links to interesting stuff, not generally a bad way of keeping up to date on various websites. (you can make sure you only get the tech news stuff). also, another vote for the register.

slashdot?!?

OCUK forums, then if someones mentions something that sounds interesting, I'll google it for more information.

give up really, there's to much to keep up with, i still keep roughly in touch with processors / desktop stuff but mostly make sure i know whats happening in networking and servers as thats what work needs!

Aside from that, another vote for el reg...

Couldn't agree more.

Once upon a time I used to know all the processors, what went with waht etc. Since working in IT i've had to focus my IT knowledge to Server Operating Systems, Networking stuff and servers.
