Digg has, IMHO, spread its news coverage area too wide and has lost my interest. Slashdot has, to its credit, maintained its tech focus after being around for over 10 years now but but updates/percolates kind of slowly. I'm hoping that Newspond will be the a good tech news resource. But, it currently draws too much from mainstream sites that, I'll guess, most tech geeks already have in their newsfeed reader. If it is able to reach out to good sites that are out of the mainstream tech news, I think it may have some value to me in the future.
