I think this works very well - simply set google alerts for "ICO" and voila, you will get a constant newsflow on ICOs!

However, there's simply a lot to sieve through and an effective way to understand ICOs in-depth would be to attend events held by the companies offering the ICOs. Would need to get access to invitation though.
