Technology reporting is the latest publishing trend - in case you hadn't noticed. Problem is, this bar-rage is much closer to hype-tech, and words like sludge quickly come to mind.
Think of Cybernautics Digest as Cliff Notes for tech media. This monthly newsletter provides an overview of the most important features on "critical trends and developments in information tech-nology." Not a lot of fancy graphics, no ads - just Grade-A filtered information.
I've never been so well informed. Topics ranging from the telecom industry and privacy to interface design are drawn from more than 245 source publications. I read Cybernautics Digest with pen in hand, circling companies and highlighting articles to track down later. (Source phone numbers are included.)
Also, I suggest its Web site at www.pscu.com /cyber.html. Only edited highlights are posted now, but once these guys start putting the entire newsletter online, complete with hypertext links to original articles, life will be ... well, nearly perfect.
Cybernautics Digest: US$2 per issue. KFH Publications Inc.: +1 (206) 547 4950. For a sample issue, send e-mail to twhansen@cuix.pscu.com.
