Ask HN: List your favourite social news sources
Another post on HN compared HN to Reddit and Digg, so I thought I'd ask people to list your favourite social news sources.In no particular order:http://news.ycombinator.com - :)

Re:Stop Teaching Handwriting

This is ridiculous. TFA claims that we shouldn't teach handwriting because her son struggles and makes claims that an author used a typewriter in the 1880s because they probably shared the same problem with nothing to back it up.
Sure, nobody 'needs' handwriting when they're in front of a computer keyboard but its a lot easier when you're outdoors and need to write a quick note down (and no, T9 is not the answer), especially given that paper doesn't disappear when it loses charge.

Just to reply to my own post, the site was called Infosec Update - http://news.mandalorian.com if anyone is interested.

Yes the same has happened to me, but I've noticed I go to several different specific news sites instead of Reddit and Digg now. There was a recent post about a slinkset site I think it was called Infosec Update or something that seemed promising. I use a lot of Pligg sites as well now.
Digg is, well, Digg with all it's failings. Reddit recently turned into 4chan. HN I like as the SNR is quite low but I have started to see posts for things that are less related appearing as the community grows. I've also spotted the same sites popping up again and again.
