Tech News...Where to go?
I'm greatly interested in joining a tech industry group at a bulge bracket (or perhaps going to a firm such as Qatalyst Partners).
The dilemma I have right now is where to go to get the latest news on the tech industry. The Wall Street Journal and NYT Dealbook have news on EVERYTHING. Is there a resource I could use to focus on tech specifically?
Tech section of the WSJ.
How about Tech Crunch. Or wired, engadget, Gizmodo etc. That will give you a lot of news on technology. I mean, frankly, I'd go and look at those and then follow links from those (or just google one) and you should have a bunch of options.
Techcrunch will give you good insight on macro trends, WSJ Tech will give you good insight on deals (usually). If you want to learn more about funding rounds Crunchbase can be useful, but probably is not of interest if you want to do TMT.
what TECH literature is the best to follow...??? (Originally Posted: 09/21/2011)
For Finance I read WSJ, Economist etc...
For Tech I read Mashable, Techcrunch, CNET, etc...
But where is the heavy tech stuff at?
Thanks
Heavy tech? This might be the wrong place to ask for that information. Anyone on WSO with an interest in tech will probably only read one of the sites you mentioned.
yeah I mean things like NFC and RFID development...HTML5...Oracle DB development etc. etc...
I thought this would be a good question for individuals that cover certain companys within the tech industry
For semiconductors, check out Digitimes and EE Times. Fierce Telecom and Light Reading are both good for wireline/wireless communications and communications equipment. Hopefully that should help you out a bit.
You should check out Quora.com
Its a question and answer site, but it has many techies from SV. This question has been asked several times for some of the topics you mentioned, so you can search for it and find a good list of resources.
All Things D GigaOM Next Generation Networks Magazine RFID Journal
Every subsector of tech has it's own blogs and newsites. Just google whatever topic area that you are interested in along with "Magazine" or "Blog", and you will find something relevant.
Good sites to find out more about industry trends, particularly tech? (Originally Posted: 10/26/2012)

Keeping up with Tech news (Originally Posted: 10/26/2012)
I am currently an ER Intern at a growth fund and have been getting mentored by a senior member of the firm. He covers the tech sector. I read the WSJ, Barrons, etc etc. However, I am looking for information that is more heavy tech based. Is there a certain newspaper, online journal or magazine that strictly releases quality up to date tech info? Thanks
Get a rss feeder or something. Get all the blogs like techcruch, etc and have them flow in every day. Content aggregation from multiple sources are incredible for this. Get on twitter and follow every tech related person and blog you can find. I guarantee you that you will get extraordinary information from there.
Addinator thank you for all your help

Best Websites and Resources to learn about Tech/Internet Businesses and Development? (Originally Posted: 12/15/2013)

Thanks in advance for your help!

Thanks Finn!
excellent post above, definitely start there. the usual supects to throw in on top of everything mentioned in that post would be TechCrunch, Techmeme (aggregator), GigaOm, PandoDaily, AllThingsD and WSJ Tech, VentureBeat, Hacker News, Wired... there are others but those are the ones I check every day without fail and find to have consistently good content, some others can be a little too fluffy/stupid. Brad Feld's blog is a must (feld.com), Bijan Sabet's blog is also pretty good (http://bijansabet.com/), as are Andrew Chen's and Hunter Walk's. Twitter is also a phenomenal resource for tech/VC news if you're following the right people, starting with everyone mentioned so far, major VC players, execs, journalists and writers, etc. good luck!
Follow up question, how would you recommend reading these sites? Sometimes there's just a random deal on TechCrunch or a new round of funding for xyz company... if I read these sites on a regular basis, will the framework and context of these events become intuitive or is there a more strategic/efficient way to go about it?
Thanks for the write-up!
Also just wanted to add that Quora is an excellent resource for learning about VC/growth equity, as well as tech trends.
Learning about Tech Subspaces (Originally Posted: 04/29/2010)

Suggestions on learning about tech industry. (Originally Posted: 04/22/2013)
Hi everyone,
Just accepted an offer at a pretty well-known middle-market IB group this summer in their SF tech group.
Was wondering if anyone knew of any good resources to bring me up to speed about the technology industries that I might be working on. (i.e. software, semiconductors, internet, etc.) I want to come in with some working knowledge so that I may better understand business models of companies from the get-go this summer.
Thanks for the help in advance.
I'd start with reading TechCrunch, AllThingsD, The Verge maybe GizModo, on a fairly regularly basis, just to get familiar with the industry. Not gonna help you learn revenue drivers for mid-size enterprise storage firms, but that's not really your value-add as a summer anyway.
Soild advice. I agree.
