Techmeme founder Gabe Rivera earlier recommended that the best way to get Techmeme love your blog is through original content, descriptive titles and link love - i.e., you should send some traffic to Techmeme and they he may consider including your site among other Techmeme elites. That was 2006 and...

There’s a “new way to get on Techmeme“. It’s called Twitter, have you heard of it? All you need to do is send a message on the micro-sharing service that begins with “Tip @Techmemeâ€� or “Tip @TechmemeFHâ€�. The website, which aggregates news stories from across the web a...

People love to bitch about Techmeme — in fact, it’s one of the top Bitchmeme topics. More often than not, the root cause of the bitching is a story they think should be a Techmeme headline. Well guess what, now instead of writing a post bitching about bias, you can submit your suggested ...

Again, rising to Steve Gillmor’s challenge… Today’s WebSpat involves my friends over on the Gillmor Gang, who spent the better part of an hour castigating Robert Scoble for not writing long, thoughtful blog posts. Thank God he doesn’t. My brain can’t handle too many lon...

I hereby accept Steve Gillmor’s challenge to write even more crap in 2009 in the name of disrupting Techmeme (or in my case, Memeorandum) to prove that I have absolutely no authority other than that which others think I have. Here is my first contribution. Tonight’s PBS broadcast of John...

I had seen mention of the new news aggregation site TechFuga a week or so ago but didn’t really look into it as I figured that I had enough aggregators churning the waters. Then tonight I saw a comment on FriendFeed by Robert Scoble where he was pointing to it while tearing Gabe Rivera of Techmeme...

By Eric Berlin of Online Media Cultist (FriendFeed/Twitter) Can you hear it? That's the sound of social media companies scrambling, hustling, and scraping to find new revenue-generating models to beat back the hounds of this wacky economy. Most recently, we're starting to see talk of experimenting w...

I care about news. It’s why I love talking with Gabe Rivera, the guy who makes TechMeme and a bunch of similar sites, like I did in Paris France at the recent LeWeb Conference. I told him that TechMeme has grown cold for me, which is why I wanted a new system — one where humans bring me ...

[UPDATE below.] Yesterday, the one-man-band of a tech blogger, Michael Arrington, let loose with yet another outrageously indignant diatribe–this time that he and his TechCrunch site would forthwith break all news embargoes. Not content with the traffic generated last week by his obviously fak...

Over just the past 24 hours, there’s been quite a hullabaloo surrounding the Wall Street Journal’s controversial front-page story on Google’s edge caching plan and whether it violates Net neutrality. (See Cord’s post and Bret’s). Lessig calls it a “made-up drama&#...
