All of us seem to use the Recent Threads link. Me too. But besides that, I'm send here by means of IRC. I follow #news and filter on PerlMonks.*CSV to be attended at threads that might be of interrest. Many times I don't have to reply, as ikegami is really fast :)

For the chatterbox, I use #cbstream on IRC, so I can read the log and, again, be signalled when people need me.
