Hacker News (startup culture, programming), MetaFilter, Coursera, Quora, BoingBoing, Are you interested in any particular academic field? I spend a fair bit of time reading (quite light) blogs on computer science. This was made quite recently: http://splasho.com/upgoer5/ based on xkcd.com/1133/, a text editor where you are only allowed to use the ten hundred most common words. Quite a few people have been trying to explain complicated shit like their PhD thesis using this. Interesting stuff. FFFFOUND! is a great one. An image aggregator from tumblr, etc. Has a pretty cool suggestion system where related images are recommended based on who else liked them and who posted the image. Occasionally NSFW. Also, it has keybindings.
