Ask HN: What startup-focused online resources do you use?

Other than HN of course :-) . More specifically, is there a community curated site where one can find peer recommended and ranked resources (books, tools, apps, advise) focused on startups and small businesses? Not that there is a shortage of blogs, books and news sites; on the contrary, there are so many. But which ones do people here use and trust the most?

I am wondring if there could be a platform that can make people to involve in a real startup. Actually, some of people like to contribute a part of labor for trading exsperience, and for free. The point is how to collect those labor efficiently

Thanks for the reply jxiong. I think that many startups would be delighted to strike such a deal. Internships are the traditional way to go about this and some might even pay something little. In return, you get exposure and an early peak at how things work in a startup. In my company all of our interns end up leaving with very fond memories of their experience here. If I were you, I would find a company you are interested in and contact them to see if they have any internship positions. You never know until you ask. Make it clear that you are not looking for a paid position, just the experience.

So, what online resources do you use to learn more about startups? Do you find those resources useful?
