Matt Cutts -- New 30 day challenge: No news (mattcutts.com)

Guess we won't be able to get Google support from Matt on HN this month. :)

I've been taking steps to reduce my sources of news to a small group of higher quality, paid sources. I've settled on The Economist for world developments, WIRED for general entertainment, and Hacker News for technology. So far, I've noticed a pretty substantial increase in the quality of reading, and I haven't felt cut off from the new developments. The experiment is going so well that I may even replace HN with issues of Hacker Monthly.

If my experiment is anything to go by, there may be a market for paid news in the future after all.

I pretty much read HN, Quora and Reddit. I am trying really hard to drop reddit completely - which makes me have F5-ism on HN and Quora :(
