I find FTG to be irritatingly hard to read, so I rarely bother stopping there.
Generally I think TPG does a reasonable job of consolidation of whats going on in the various programs I participate in, plus he's spend time/money to present his stuff in a reasonable manner so you arent clawing over thousands of crappy links in every story.
Still doesnt beat coming here to the forums, as FT and other forums, provide near instantaneous to deals prior to many of the blogs picking them up and the deals going kaput.
