Hi my name is Dave Winer, and I created techblast.org.
Here's why: I felt I was missing a lot of the good tech news. I find out about stuff long after it's new. And I get a dozen reports on every little thing Apple, Google and Facebook do. The tech press is in a rut, obsessed with the big companies, and that's cutting off the air supply for small development shops and individuals, like me (btw).
So I asked my friends on Facebook what tech sites they follow, added some of my favorites, and the standards, and put it together into one flow, the one you're reading right now. I hope you like it and are getting as much out of it as I do!
