I go with google and Gartner. Gartner helps with industry trends, tools available, maturity matrix and capability. with Google, I get fair sense of end user reviews and challenges faced during implement and issues with various tools and technologies. Accordingly, basis my business needs and budgets available, I go with the solutions.

Depending on how bleeding edge you are focusing.
As mentioned, your usual advisory and trend firms are great for macro level insights or more established technologies.

If you're interested in the more bleeding edge, technical blogs (such as medium) and Twitter (unfortunately) are unrivaled. These are usually from the mouth of the horse, rather than having to go through research, validation, internal review and signoff processes the firms have in place.

TikTok is also heavily underutilized, I've found several high quality publishers on TikTok with extremely insightful content. The casual presentation also leads to a lower latency on delivery even moreso than Twitter

Great response!<br>Your top 4 are great for established emerging tech but I wouldn&#39;t visit any of them for cutting or bleeding edge.
