Whether it is trying to stave off writer’s block, or trying to quickly find news & information without looking everywhere, what better way than have the information come to you? Here are a few of the sources I find particularly useful.
Google News Alerts : This is probably a well known source of information. What you might not know is that you can type in sets of keywords and have articles matching your keywords delivered to your inbox. Particularly useful for tracking information about your team of choice, or that free agent you’ve been tracking.Sports Blogs : You probably know that virtually every sports blog feed is captured here. My favorite aspect is being able to get an aggregate feed for a particular team.Topix : Offers typical search categories, plus a plethora of preconfigured Topix including all major sports leagues and teams. It has a combination of newspaper and blog stories. With each story are relevant tags, that when you hover a pop-up box will show the top stories for the corresponding tags.Technorati : Right now this isn’t that fruitful because not many sports blogs are tagging. If tagging becomes more widely adopted among sports bloggers it could be a rich information option. You can search indexed blogs, search by tags, or even subscribe to a feed of your search
This is by no means a complete list, but it is a starting point. If you have other sources of information, please feel free to include them in the comments.
