Which eMail Lists do you reccomend? ... [more inside]
What e-Mail Lists do people subscribe to? I tend towards the technological, with subsriptions to wired, ntk, Joel Spolsky, Clay Shirky and popBitch (NSFW), but I'd be interested in knowing which other fantastic lists I can send that all important "subscribe" message to.

The most general thing I try to follow is the nettime-l digest.

TopFive for a morning laugh. ThomsonFN.com Market Wrap for stock market crap. NY Times Headlines and Editorial for news and views. Remote Patrol for a snarky look at the coming day in TV.

Best answer: Now I see that stavrosthewonderchicken's link contains my link.
Still, I must add to the list these :
Research Buzz - Random Interesting Links
World Wide Words - Mainly if you enjoy linguistics and etymology. Great newsletter.
Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day - Exactly what it says - learn a new word a day.
World of douglas - Stories made containing words from the A.Word.A.Day newsletter (which was suggested above by milov), to ease their learning.
Dribbleglass - Some fine trivia and jokes. Or, as they (he, actually) put(s) it: It's Fun. It's Free. It's the Next Best Thing to Porn.
b3ta - Linking the finest websites.
Verba Volant - Possibly my favourite newsletter, this one selects a fine quotations and sends it to you in a large number of languages. Example.
Doctor Dictionary - Just another word-a-day newsletter.
Sorry for the follow-up post, I should've included these in the first post, but I thought IP would be too cool in comparison with these latter ones. Discovering IP had already been linked, I felt guilty.
I hope you'll enjoy them.
