Technology is everywhere. In this day and age, a person goes on a piece of technology to talk about other pieces of technology, like some kind of gossip loop. Of course, if you ask ten people for their opinions you’re bound to get at least a few ridiculous responses. With more voices than the Borg collective talking all at once, it can be hard to tell whom you can trust with your hard earned dollars.

While it’s easy to find a bunch of useful sites, finding a list of useful technology sites can be as hard as finding the smartest kid in the gifted class. Every one of them will have a solid pitch for how they’re the most authoritative source on their kind of technology. Naturally every one of them will have an agenda. Some sites will be selling ad space, while other sites will be receiving affiliate commissions for selling one product or another. The most important part about finding any good information lies in filtering out the obvious sales pitches.

Once you get rid of the ones with an agenda beyond doing a service to the tech community, you can start to trust them to a point. If they make sense on a few points, you might extend your trust a little bit further. Finally, if you take the site’s suggestions and they actually work, you might have found a winner. While it isn’t quite as big of a win as winning the lottery, finding a reputable and knowledge technology site is at least as good as finding $20 in the laundry. Reliable tech sites are worth treasuring.
