Curation seems to be a thing of the current online zeitgeist. In this spirit, here I list 5 of my favorite online locations, 3 of which are relatively unknown.

News: BBC. Comprehensive, general, and free.

Social network: Twitter. It might not ‘get’ business as Facebook does, but it’s more conductive and nurturing to highbrow content.

How to live: The Book of Life and The School of Life. A great project by philosopher Alain de Botton.

The business of technology: Stratechery. A unique perspective on what makes the technology world move, by Ben Thompson.

History: Hardcore History. An incredibly engaging podcast by self-declared ‘amateur’ historian Dan Carlin.
