Useful WoW Sites: WoW Blue Tracker
Skip the Crowd
I hate wading through the World of Warcraft forums. It’s just a giant repository full of crap that’s just hard to follow in general. The one major reason for lurking on the forums is to catch those rare “Blue Posts” that gives insight into some new things coming up on the WoW Horizon. The search functionality, while nice, offers no “Find all Blue Posts” option. There is a solution for this mini-problem.
Months Behind
While some of you are probably already following this site, it’s surprising to see how many people are unaware of its existence. It’s usually on track and only delayed by an hour so any new posts are available throughout the day. It combines both the European and US forums (and they are appropriately marked).
I highly recommend checking through the site every once in awhile and especially around patch time. Most of the major WoW news sites use it to get their “hot-and-fresh” news without having to troll the forums all day long. They even recently added a new option which lets users vote a topic as News or as Spam.

Oh wow this is awesome. I’m bumping a thread atm that promotes a fix for Axe spec (well, something to put it on par with sword spec.)
I really want to be axe, but the rage from sword is amazing.

There is a find all blue posts option on the WoW forums. Just open a search and check the bliz post box and hit search without inputing any terms in the search field. However, the problem with this is that it only goes back about 10 search pages and is often filled with CM posts that are not important or helping someone install disk 2 of BC…WoW Tracker and Daily Blue are pretty good functions.

Ah. Well that’s helpful. I do rather like how I can aggregate all the information without even going to the site itself. I’d hate to look like I’m browsing forums at work …
