This started out as a list of top Computer Science blogs, but it more closely resembles a set: the order is irrelevant and there are no duplicate elements; membership of this set of blogs satisfies all of the following conditions:
- they are written by computer scientists and focus on computer science research;
- they are of consistently high quality;
- I regularly read them.
N.B. I have deliberately excluded blogs primarily focusing on computer science education (for another time).

The Endeavour by John D. Cook (@JohnDCook)
John’s blog cuts across using computing, programming and mathematics to solve real-world problems, pulling in his wide expertise as a mathematics professor, programmer, consultant, manager and statistician. Some great posts across the technical and socio-technical spectrum. Also runs a number of useful Twitter tip accounts, including @CompSciFact, @UnixToolTip, @RegexTip and @TeXtip.

Lambda the Ultimate, the Programming Languages Weblog (@lambda_ultimate)
This site deals with issues directly related to programming languages and programming language research, as well as forays to bordering issues such as programmability and language in general. This is a community, but not for specific programming problems in some language; unfounded generalisations about programming languages are usually frowned on.

Google Research Blog by Google (@googleresearch)
The latest news on Google research, focusing on some of their key areas of interest: e-commerce, algorithms, HCI, information retrieval, machine learning, data mining, NLP, multimedia, computer vision, statistics, security and privacy.
Clearly this set is incomplete — please post your computer science research blog recommendations in the comments below; I’d be particularly interested in blogs covering compilers, concurrency and computer architectures.

Just for bookmarking…for now. I really should get reading sometime soon.
I might have to reblog this on my tech blog – plainenglishtech. The information looks very interesting. I will be sure to let my visitors know that it is reblogged from your site.

Here is an interesting set of Computer Science Blogs that I am reblogging from ‘Computing: The Science of Nearly Everything’. These blogs provide insight into the world of computer science research.
Reblogged this on Rose Colored Glasses.
Nice “set”! As a long-ago CS grad from Texas A&M, ’84, I’m gonna have to read up on some of these when I have time (not programming, blogging, or taking photos)! Congrats on FP too! You’ll definitely be getting a pingback from me when I link this post in a future post of my own!
