Here's some of the things I do...
- Watch Delicious. Delicious is a free bookmark service that was set up and run by just one guy. It is fairly sparse and not immediately intuitive, but it is still very useful for trend watching. Go to Delicious and you will see things that people just added to their bookmarks. Click on the link that says "popular" and you will see sites that are becoming very popular. Click on the "Most Active" words on the right and you can see popular sites that are being "tagged" with those words. I often go there and click "search" and it shows me sites that people are bookmarking and tagging with the word search. I've found a lot of interesting sites with Delicious. Link.
- Watch Technorati. Technorati is basically a blog search engine and aggregator. For trend watching it is useful to look two places: Tags and Popular. With Tags, you can see words, tags, that are being used in Blogs organized alphabetically and sized according to popularity. Then in Popular, you can see "most-linked-to" news stories, movies and more. Link.
- Read Boing Boing. Boing Boing is a blog that is run by a crew of smart connected Web folk who always seem to know what is going on. Sure, 25% of the posts are of no interest to me (why all the posts about science fiction writing?) but the rest of the posts are timely and fascinating. Link.
- Read Slashdot. OK, yes, it is, as they say, "News for Nerds." And it is in desperate need of a makeover. But Slashdot is perhaps one of the smartest and most passionate communities in existence. There are always timely topics and extensive debate to be considered. Link.
- Read Google News. I realize there are a lot of News sites out there, but somehow Google hit it right. Their news presentation is right on the mark, easy to read and sift through. Link.
- Watch Alexa's Movers. After watching all the sites above, still, a bunch of really "hot" sites escape my notice. Alexa's Movers catch them. For example, today, I saw that JibJab had another film, Big Box Mart, a "jab" at Walmart, that was garnering a ton of traffic. Link. And then there is Rising Concepts new service, Frapper, that lets you create interactive Google maps, plotting where members of your community/group are located. Link. Let's not forget the Million Quarter Web Page, where you can pay a quarter per pixel to show up on the front page for ten years. Link. These three examples are all wildly popular right now, and I would have missed them completely if it weren't for the Alexa Movers. Link.

Geoffrey,
I do the same everyday with a small difference that is instead of visiting Watch Delicious, i read your latest posts and check how my site: WALEG.com, is doing :)!
Slashdot? Smart? OK, you can kill me now. The links may be somewhat interesting now and then, but the signal to noise ratio is INCREDIBLY low.
Y'could also try JengaJam.com
google is my way of getting upto speed of new sites coming up..Alexa has missed www.edirection.com as one of the movers & shakers! do check it out.
i'm intersted exactly in the same things, and doing all mentioned.
more i found to be very good:
http://www.techcrunch.com/
http://tech.memeorandum.com/
http://gadgets.fosfor.se/
ofer adler.
Digg.com i am think of making it my homepage sorry alexa.com
is a technology news website that employs non-hierarchical editorial control. With digg, users submit stories for review, the users decide which stories go on the homepage.
i also believe it superior to slashdot.com in technical innovation and attractivness
Or just subscribe to email updates from Digital Inspiration
:)
the question is not who make the trend, the question how you make the trend?
for visual effecfts trends: news.vfxy.com
This might sound dumb/obvious but I think it's also important to follow your nose and veer off the well-trod path, meaning that like any journey it's sometimes the unexpected places that are the most interesting, lucrative or educative. So-called futurists in the business world don't consult experts when it comes to trendspotting; they look everywhere - the street, workplaces, popular culture etc. So I think alot of it is synchronicity as well as trusting your own capacity for analysis and interpretation when you come across things that strike you as interesting.
yeah.
Why don't we just make a personalized homepage with all 6 of them on it to save time jumping one from another.
Nice idea, everyday we see some new ideas that really works and attracts
people good luck.
