The dark side of tech-cult is novelty-cult. There is a bunch of old sites that still do the job and just because they don't feature flashy ajax stuff they don't reserve to be swept away in the whirlwind of innovation. Here is a list of old sites that I keep using:
1. BLOGLINES: With all the flashy start-pages out there, for pure RSS reading you can't beat Bloglines' sheer simplicity.
2. IMDB: All the info, all the minute details so you don't have to wait until the end of the credits in the cinema to find out who made that music. They could give it a social networking touch to be in tune with the times. After all, cinema is one of the most talked-about and individual-defining subjects.
3. TECHNORATI: Still the best way to know what's the hype. Other sites are catching up, though. Technorati needs a complete redesign. Why no RSS feed for the MOST POPULAR section?
