There's nothing like a four year old post getting comments. However, I clearly remember asking you about this in May, 2005. However, you didn't promise "3 years" then. However, I think the idea I talked about with you will work now -- and I've still got a dandy URL to try it out on.

And now I know the answer. But I won't reveal it for three more years. Check back here in 2015.

I think the real job is to find a nice medium...as social powered news sites such as Digg.com don't really provide great news either!

because the caracteristics of a news aggregator, based on a swarm of stolen posts, easily addable on a short period of time, gives us the annoyance which covers vast topics of need. strange enough, the little lamb got scared and opened his mouth....

Glad to see you finally saw the light, Gabe!

I'm sure it will make Techmeme ever better and I'm guessing will assist the expansion into other niches, no?

Gabe, It's mildly amusing that you're doing this so shortly after the big Guardian piece saying how much better Memeorandum is than Google News at doing the aggregation.

Still, likely the right call. I'm generally pleased with the selection of stories at the three that I use (Memeorandum, Techmeme, and WeSmirch) but do find the groupings of stories within memes and especially the choice of blogs linking to said stories rather random.

The truth is Memeorandum is a San Francisco Liberal owned, Meme tag scanner, that has just enough Conservative Blogs to keep the Conservative Blogging community from complaining about it.

I've posted great entries on my Blog, only to have it ignored by Gabe's bullshit service.

Gabe, get real or better yet, get lost and turn your code over to someone who's a-Political.

Nope, we tried PERSONAL finance. That's different!

we tried that. Gabe didn't think it worked very well. I'm still a holdout, but I understand his concerns / criticisms.

anyway, don't u need a job?
if Gabe did FinMeme too well, you'd be out on your ass eric :)

Thanks. Interesting. Though wrong may be right for you, I believe wrong is usually wrong for more people. Right? :-)
