Rich Skrenta's post (referred to in my immediately preceding post) is indeed fascinating. Skrenta is Co-Founder and CEO of Topix.net — 'founded in 2002 with the specific mission of providing users the ability to quickly and easily find targeted news on the Internet'. One of the links I have found through exploring Topix.net is this one, dedicated to news about all things Google. (Other Topix.net pages of interest to me include one for blogs and one for social software.)
The other great Google site I have found (through the Comments to my post about Gmail) is Google Blogoscoped, run by Jan Philipp Lenssen. What he doesn't know about Google ... And the calendar page he has evolved (for indexing his blog) is also amazing.
