Can 10 humans take on Techmeme’s algorithms and the Digg crowd? Blogged thinks so (Venture Beat)

Wed, 02 Jul 2008 20:10:08 GMT

I remember the days when Techmeme was full of great tidbits and blogs with clever writing, but it seems as if something switched. Now, in order to find the more niche content that matches my tastes, I have to mine through half a page of Microsoft/Yahoo drama and speculation about the iPhone 3G. Blogged.com thinks it [...]

Why Powerset is important and different (Don Dodge on The Next Big Thing)

Wed, 02 Jul 2008 14:35:20 GMT

Microsoft announced yesterday the acquisition of Powerset, a natural language search engine. Techmeme has lots of stories about the acquisition. Today the stories are all a bout Microsoft/Yahoo potential deals . But lets take a step back and look at how Powerset works and why it is an important development in search. There are two key things to consider; Powerset technology is more about indexing...

Following the Perez Hilton Example (Profy.Com)

Tue, 01 Jul 2008 04:00:46 GMT

Ben Metcalfe wrote an incredible post today about the current state of the tech blogosphere. The entry, which carries the title Puppets, theatre and the conflation of 'successful' with 'popular,' notes that much of the posturing around the hallowed halls of Techmeme High is not so much an effort toward producing quality reporting and analysis, but rather, an effort to be the coolest kid on the block....

Atom-powered iPhone, the sequel (Planet Intertwingly)

Fri, 27 Jun 2008 15:08:25 GMT

Remember the fuss stirred up last month when an Intel exec talked about a future iPhone that would be powered by one of Intel’s Atom chips? (See Anatomy of a Rumor: The Atom-powered Newton iPhone.) What gave the rumor legs — and generated more than a dozen headlines on Techmeme — was the kind of iPhone [...]

Or at least she does as far as Techmeme is concerned. She has been breaking elements of the Microsoft and Yahoo saga for awhile now, but this is the first time I’ve seen her name appear more than four times on Techmeme — as the lead item for the top cluster, then the lead item [...]

RSSmeme and Bloggers’ (Copy)rights (Mashable)

Fri, 20 Jun 2008 06:51:00 GMT

Copyright allegations against the blogosphere seem to be all the rage these days. The last several days on both TechMeme and Memeorandum have been filled with analysis and reporting on the AP’s new policy (and subsequent “retraction”) disallowing blogs from quoting in whole or partiality any of their wire pieces without proper payment and license.

'Cause It Ain't Got Flash (Adobe Blogs)

Thu, 19 Jun 2008 04:07:46 GMT

Techmeme is clustering on a survey of 402 people in Japan, and found that 91% were not immediately planning on entering The iPhone Experience. Couple of different takeaways on that: Anthony Ha had a telling line this afternoon: "iPhone is the tech blogosphere equivalent of Brad and Angelina." Same thing with the mention in the Adobe Analyst Call ... didn't warrant the attention ... same with the discussions...

reddit is now OPEN reddit (GeekEstate Blog)

You may have already seen the news (Techmeme coverage), but news voting site reddit is now open source. I’m not sure how many web developers will be at RE Bar Camp, but it could be fun project to build a real estate version of reddit as one of the sessions, or at least spec the requirements [...]

Firefox 3 Arrives (Direct2Dell)

Tue, 17 Jun 2008 20:38:02 GMT

Not surprisingly, Firefox 3.0 is front and center on Techmeme right now. Lots of folks like Eric Shonfeld have blogged about the initial problems getting to the Download Day site . The main Firefox 3.0 download page is up and running—I just downloaded and installed the final version of Firefox from there. Initial reaction... it loads pages lightning fast. CNET has a good round-up of articles for folks...

AP objects to quoting-and-linking (Scripting News)

Mon, 16 Jun 2008 16:24:50 GMT

This morning the top story on both TechMeme and Memeorandum is about the AP and its opinion that quoting and linking is a violation of fair use. This is something I've been doing on Scripting News going back to the mid-90s. Examples? According to AP, everything on NewsJunk.com would be a violation. As many have pointed out, quoting and linking is the norm in the blogosphere. I have noticed that more...

Here’s Our New Policy On A.P. stories: They’re Banned (moraaz.org - feed all tech!)

Mon, 16 Jun 2008 07:17:03 GMT

The stories over the weekend were bad enough - the Associated Press went after Drudge Retort for having the audacity to link to their stories along with short quotations via reader submisisons. Drudge Report is doing nothing different than what Digg, TechMeme, Mixx and dozens of other sites do, and frankly the fact that they [...]

Any point in not writing about Apple? (mathewingram.com/work)

Mon, 09 Jun 2008 16:29:00 GMT

On a hunch, I would have to say the answer is probably no — headlines about the Apple developer event and speculation about what might be announced already fill up a third of a page or so at Techmeme, and Steve Jobs hasn’t even taken the stage yet. The TechCrunch gang started their live-blogging with [...]
