Library blog. ResourceShelf is a great library/information-sciences blog, with tons of tasty links to statistical summaries of information trends. Here are some samples:
A Reference Librarian's Take on Library of Congress Classificatio
A very interesting and informative article for all librarians. It was written by Robin Paynter, a reference librarian at the University of Oregon.

Books Being Borrowed From the Library: U.K.
From the site, "The annual PLR figures listing the most popular authors and books in public libraries across the UK last year have just been released..."

"Search Engines Sued for Delivering Hits Based on Payment"

"Assess the Quality of the Information at a Web Site"
Short and to-the-point with respect to the steps readers can take to avoid relying on bad information.

Link Discuss (Thanks, Gary!)

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.
