For those who want to stay on top of tech news, the Internet has a wealth of fantastic sites waiting for you to discover. In fact, sometimes it can seem like there are too many options. To help you know which sites are worth your attention, here is our list of the best places for tech news.

Because it can be difficult to keep up with a long list of news sites, it’s a good idea to set up a news aggregator. A news aggregator makes it easy to keep up with a specific topic from many sites by collecting all the articles in one place. You can set your aggregator to provide you with headlines, summaries, excerpts, full text of articles, links, or images. While there are many different varieties available, here are a few of our favorite tech news aggregators.

Hacker News

No matter what site you choose to use, spending some time with tech news will help ensure that you grow in confidence with the ever-changing technology world around you.
