Wen --

I've only recently gotten into NewsAggregators/newsfeeds. I'd pretty much depended on Google news and some "news alerts" from them on certain topics; however, I've really increased my "pinpoint" accuracy on current issues by using RSSReader --

I've also added a couple of newsfeeds to my site: anchoragetechsupport.com/newsfeeds -- a work in progress.

However, I track the 3 following links in my NewsReader:

http://securitytracker.com/
http://www.securityfocus.com/
http://www.scamsafe.com/scamsafe/

(They seem to pull all of the US-Certs, plus I get those sent to me in email -- but the Government isn't really up to speed or as current as I'd like.)

This is the one that I've added to my website:

http://www.millersmiles.co.uk/

Additionally, under my "Security" category, I track:

The Internet Storm Center for viruses, worms, etc. They ARE the most current on a minute-by-minute basis.

While I also track CNET News, InfoWorld, etc., I've found that the above links give me the broadest coverage for "all" things that I classify as "Scourge(s) of the Internet."

My goal is to switch over to a CMS program, away from a static webpage format and have all my of newsfeeds "automatically" introduced onto my website; however, being a newbie and all, that goal will likely have to wait until the fall. And, what is decipherable to me in a complex website isn't necessarily to the average user whom I want to support; so, I may run both in parallel for awhile.

I run a forum AND a "Scourge Alert" on my homepage and on my Virus Alert page -- and update any/all as quickly as I see something growing in importance. While I don't have a readership as yet for my site, I'm developing habits that will hold me in good stead for the future when I do.
