As you can see, you can now attribute the content that goes with your open source project on Google Code. This is a piece of news that won’t make TechMeme, but I believe it is actually a big deal (even more so than Robert Scoble blogging about blogging). We often think of opensource projects as code. We [...]

You might know that Facebook, this afternoon, will have its second press conference surrounding its platform. Go to TechMeme if you want to know the news. I’m sure there will be dozens of articles. I decided I would go, though, mostly to find smaller stories about what developers are doing on that platform. Talk to [...]

Saw a thread on Techmeme this morning about wireless HDTV technology. Looks like some big companies are banding together to provide (yet another) wireless HDTV service. Over at Crave I read that while it’s a year away (read: 2-5 years away), it’ll be fairly low-cost, as in ~$100 (read: ~$500) per set to [...]

"TechCrunch and Techmeme get as much grumpiness tossed their direction as they do because they each own a valuable niche in the blogosphere, and are expanding their lead, rather than relinquishing it. While you could say that TechCrunch competes with ReadWriteWeb , Mashable , GigaOM or others, they have cemented themselves as the go-to site for new services entering the market, and even their opinion...

I had to chuckle reading this from Scoble: Tech blogging has become way too controlled by PR agents. You might not realize it, but the top blogs are contacted by PR folks dozens of times per day. This is why you'll see 15 stories all appear on Techmeme at the same time. All with the same news. Only a few of whom slow down to ask "is this really useful." That has less to do with the PR guys than...

I’m tired of waiting for his inevitable decline. I am truly tired of waking up to the whining of the nerds on a great community site. He wants his mommy to like him, his dog to come home and his power bills lower. He would like the courage to leave his home as well. I think if [...]

TweetMeme he spin-off site from the Favorit guys, has sputtered back into life since Twitter sorted out its search problems by buying Summize. The move means that third-party aggregregators like Tweetmeme, which acts like a TechMeme for Twitter, should have a new lease of life. Certainly checking in today reveals a much improved service - [...]

While reading an article linked to from Techmeme it is easy to see there are various ways to make money selling your old iPhone to get the new iPhone 3G. In theory, people are willing to give up their old iPhone for only $199.99 so that they can purchase their new iPhone 3G for free. We [...]

Filtering through the noise to find news on discovery sites can be daunting. Social bookmarking sites like Digg and Reddit have been doing very well, and memetrackers, like Techmeme, are also growing in popularity. The newest trend in discovery tools, it seems, is semantic search engines, like Powerset (recently bought by Microsoft) and [...]
