I like Douban. http://www.douban.com Depending on how good your mandarin is, you could try actually reading Chinese BBSes, like Tianya. http://www.tianya.cn/focus/index.shtml If you're looking for simply sites with interesting Chinese news, you can check out Chinasmack. They also link to the original articles in Chinese. http://www.chinasmack.com
