There's a couple of very active forums and blogs in my niche that I read frequently - that helps me gauge the mood of my market at the moment, stay up to date with the news and gives me ideas for content creation.

Since I am into internet marketing, a place that I check frequently for news about new products, services, people, and biz opportunities online is IM Report card. They list reviews, and encourage members to leave comments describing their experience with the entity. This has been great for me, because I can find out a lot about the programs that I see day to day, without having to purchase anything, or sign up to someone's autoresponder for more information. Also, from the comments that other members leave, I can guage if its a good idea to join a program or not from the reaction of the IM community. This site has done wonders for me.

I find (regarding network marketing, my own model of business) that there's very, very much more misinformation than information around (much of it from people with financial and/or emotional incentives to propagate it); so we tend to trust only our own experiences and findings. It's no surprise at all, when you look at the very low success-rate of home-based businesses, that anything approaching a "general consensus view" is actually pretty likely to be ill-advised, unfortunately.

I find that I go with magazines and a couple of forums i'm a part of. I think a lot of people tend to give advice based solely on their experience and when you are a part of a forum you can get many opinions and put the pieces together to form an answer. but i love reading business magazines...website mag., retail mag., etc...things that can keep me on the up and up.
