Say what you will about Twitter; it can be invaluable for breaking news, if it’s curated well.
My Ukraine list on Twitter is now open to public followers after keeping it (like I keep all my curated Twitter lists) private.
And as C keeps reminding me, I used to have a page listing news sources and other publications many blogs ago, as a reference point during my Holy Weblog days. He still misses it. I’ll be creating a new one and posting it here sometime this week.
(Update: Here’s a new iteration of my old page of go-to news sites and blogs, which you’ll also find in the site navigation above.)
