As it's name suggests, JavaLobby is a sort of "activist" oriented kind of site.
You don't find "How to" articles or links to interesting applets, but you do
find postings of breaking news in the industry that are open to commentary.
The commentary is generally pretty good and the site is pretty nicely
presented.
