Thank you for the comment and for the reminder of email newsletters. Remarkable how useful they can be when well-constructed. So much so that I just forgot them completely, despite using them. Publishers Lunch is a great example for me.

I lean towards Flipboard and still use Google Reader too. I have a board for the 50 Tech Influencers, and it’s great.

Like Andrew I’m subscribed to Calacanis and Pell, reading the former mostly. Additionnally I read Uncrunched the one by Arrington.

I also still use the Diigo bookmarklet for articles I might want to check again later, and email to evernote to share with colleagues.

The only “surfing” comes from my facebook newsfeed, from the subscriptions/likes that I haphazardly might read if they post an article.

My reading is now 100% mobile, I sadly even stopped reading my Time and New Yorker magazine subscription. Sigh! I’m becoming longform-crippled!

I like Zite and Flipboard though I lean slightly to the latter. I remain a big fan of the Google Reader interface and all the emailing/saving/sharing/etc. functionality it offers.

There are a few great newsletters which I admittedly don’t read as often as I would like as one has to draw the line somewhere.

Worth checking out:

Jason Calcanis has a new daily email called LAUNCH ticker: http://launchticker.com

Dave Pell writes the Next Draft newsletter: http://bit.ly/M75Mes

Jason Hirschorn’s Media ReDEFined: http://bit.ly/N6zTAq
