Hello,
Thank you all for the great feedback. Please keep it coming. And also
please keep on sending me your favorite security related sites. They
are awesome.
Couple of criterion I forgot to mention in my previous emails:
1) I check the Netcraft ranking for each suggested URL that I receive.
The site has to rank in 50K+ to be included in the index. (e.g.
http://toolbar.netcraft.com/site_report?url=http://www.securityfocus.com)
2) I also make sure that the site doesn't excessive amount of Ads. For
e.g. I will not include http://www.securitynewsportal.com/index.shtml
Any thoughts?

Its a good idea and I think it will be helpful however the problem of
having vendor neutral sites is an issue. Most of the non vendor sites
that talk about security and esecurity are blogs and many are opinion
based.
Some such as the Pauldotcom blogs, securitycatalyst, stillsecure, are
done by skilled professionals others such as steve gibsons GRC.com
have many factual errors in what they say about security issues. The
difficulty I belive will be in generating a vendor neutral accurate
information. You will be forced to screen so much information, many
fairly neutral sites such as security focus are owned by the security
companies. A few like SANS, packetstorm, and government agencys from
around the world, are going to be your only true sources.
That being said its a great idea and if you can get it to work ill be using it.

You can do anything you set your mind to when you have vision,
determination, and and endless supply of expendable labor.
