In order to provide you all with nice, fresh, real materials and let you replace most English-based things by Spanish-based things I’ll publish a list of sites, materials, etc., etc. once in a while. The first episode will be filled with Spanish blogs.
Barrapunto.com – Do you like Slashdot.com? Then this is for you! Although not as big as Slashdot, it’s certainly entertaining and contains more than enough nice information for all you IT people out there.
IlMaistro.com – Another technology website, maintained by a Peruvian university graduate. The site looks good, the articles are informative and it’s written in to-the-point language.
MartinVarsavsky.net – It’s likely that you never heard of the guy, but he’s the founder of FON and a smart Argentinan millionare. Writes about a variety of topics and also has a blog in English (mostly translations of his articles, so also nice for learners).
Taringa.net – Famous Argentinan site, even known by people who are not using it (think of the fame of MySpace in the anglosphere). It’s simply a web 2.0 site with posts, posts and more posts. These posts contain stories, information (à la Wikipedia) or pirated stuff like CD’s or movies. Maybe you think Taringa! isn’t a blog, but it is. Users place posts, others users can comment, equals a blog.
SpanishNewsBites.com – Yes, a blog, although meant for learners. The people behind Spanish NewsBites publish a newsstory with audio, and other people can comment. Really useful for beginners who want to use real materials.
ALD – A general interest blog written by Afrael Ortiz. Okay, it contains an above-avarage amount of technology posts, but still enjoyable for everyone I think (especially the “WTF del día”.
Actualidad Blog – A blog about… blogs. No, wait, it’s more a portal to a collection of blogs. Just look at the right of the page for the blogs associated with this network and you’ll find yourself a bunch of blogs about different topics and regions.
That’s all for today. I’ll keep searching for other interesting blogs and communities. If you know one; the comments are open.

Hey! I-m not a peruvian student! I’m a university graduate!!
Anyway, check out my blog and you will probably learn something good about SEO and technology, and at the same time improve your spanish skills.
Regards!!!
Whaha, will change it although where I come from they call everyone a student – high school students and university graduates
.
Anyway, keep up the good work!
I used to follow mobuzz TV, a video blog in Spanish, English, French about technology (that was before I went all-thai-all-the-time). It was fun and entertaining, about 5 minutes everyday. http://dosisdiaria.mobuzz.tv/
