I'm researching ideas for a new start-up, and I'm looking for information on emerging trends and market gaps particularly in the online arena.

Subscribe to Business 2.0 magazine -- they have lots of great articles on emerging market trends and gaps in the Web. Afterall, this is their focus. In their recent issue, they had a great feature on the next "disruptors" -- startups that can potentially become big.

You can also learn a lot from Michael Arrington's Tech Crunch blog http://www.techcrunch.com/ -- he's a former VC but is now concentrating on writing about the tech sector
