First Monday

First Monday is a collection of peer reviewed papers regarding technology, "solely devoted to the Internet". If you want a feeling for how Internet technology is affecting society, presented in a clear, reasoned format, this is one of the places to go. Topics range from "what's wrong with open source" (which got slashdotted recently) to "how online education affects the balance of power at universities" to "how can we best keep track of information". Fascinating stuff, and the academic nature of the discourse means that it's got a solid foundation (as opposed to most weblogs, which are just some opinionated person rambling). You can even sign up for an email list to be notified when they post news articles (ah, listserv). Too bad they don't have an RSS feed.
