I am a big critic of the circle jerk that often occurs among a niche community of bloggers who constantly refer back to each other with praise and hat tips. But, I also find myself going back to the well of a select few blogs in my feed list that must number in the low hundreds.
So, I ask: Anyone have favorite blogs that cover tech policy that aren't obvious and/or are relatively undiscovered treasures?
DC based Freedom House is covering issues related to internet freedom. Their program website isn't up yet, but they are producing a news letter and delicious feed that could be of interest. Links are below

In terms of other sites, Ismael Peña's
ICTology is a good site that covers ICT4D and tech policy

I might as well shamelessly plug my own blog:
http://www.cnet.com/surveillance-state/
While privacy/security is my main area, I do write about tech policy a fair bit.
I do try hard to try and break my own stories, and rarely/never just repost stuff that other bloggers write.

Another shameless plug. The LA Times Technology blog includes a good amount of tech policy stuff, which I write from D.C., along with convergence-related posts from reporters in Los Angeles and San Francisco. It's at www.latimes.com/technology.
