文 / 王玟晴
Warren Buffett

“I have three homes: Twitter, memeorandum, and RealClearPolitics…On Twitter, I follow a good mix of folks so there is not too much noise. Memeorandum uses algorithms to determine which political stories are high in online chatter at the moment. I’ll refresh RealClearPolitics to see if there are any new polls to note…I also follow some blogs I find interesting, like The Atlantic, Marginal REVOLUTION, Andrew Sullivan, New Republic’s Nate Cohn, RealClearPolitics’s Sean Trende, Jonathan Bernstein, Monkey Cage, The Guardian’s Harry Enten.” -The Wire

“I typically read The Wall Street Journal, from the center section out. I'll read down the middle and pick what I want to read. Then I'll go to Financial Times and scan the FT Index and the second section. I'll read The New York Times business page and throw the rest away. I look at USA TODAY, the sports section first, business page second, and life third. I'll turn to page six of New York Post and then a little bit on business…I'll read everything from Fast Company and Businessweek to Aviation Week, Chemical Week, and Modern Healthcare.” -Fast Company

Krugman's obviously one of the smartest economic reporters out there…There are a handful of blogs, Andrew Sullivan's on The Daily Beast being an example, that combine thoughtful analysis with a sampling of lots of essays that are out there. The New Yorker and The Atlantic still do terrific work.” -Barack Obama
