3 Quarks Daily is one of the most interesting and thoughtful websites out there.
Sean Carroll, physicist at Caltech, author. I look for relevant research, interesting themes and funny stories on sites like 3 Quarks Daily, Crooked Timber, Boing Boing and Slashdot.
Clay Shirky, prominent thinker on the Internet and its social and economic consequences, and author of Here Comes Everybody, in The Atlantic. It is a great honor to be mentioned in one of my two ONLY portals to the internet and the world, since I do not read newspapers. My discipline, to avoid drowning in information, is not to cruise the web outside of these two points. I tried many sites; yours has CHARM.
