The political versions exposed groups who were trying to advance different sides of the same stories. Once a significant number of blogs picked up on something the commercial press missed, it entered this sort of bifurcated public debate. The technical version, though, exposes and highlights the people who talk about themselves. I’ve been a little dismayed at the groupthink, the reinforcement I’ve seen there. I didn’t expect this… thought I’d learn more from a tech subset than I actually have.

[...] memeorandum is a website that tracks current blog coverage of technology and politics. It’s an excellent resource for keeping up with these topics and saves you the time trying to sort through all the feeds from various blogs to find relevant information on these issues. For instance, here’s memeorandum’s coverage of yesterday’s Yahoo! Maps launch. For a more detailed analysis of memeorandum, check out TechCrunch’s write-ups (here and here). Even big media is starting to take notice. A couple of weeks ago Ryan Singel wrote a story on memeorandum for Wired News: “Cliff Notes From the Blog World” [...]

Well, sorry. I have problems with Memeorandum. If you want AMERICAN politics, maybe it’s great. If you want Tech news, maybe.
It just seems so opaque and so fixed. I went looking for the settings so I could tweak it towards my interests.
But no, I can have US national politics (Coburn anti-pork measure anyone in Europe?) or 2.0 West Coast Tech, but anything else aint on the radar.
It’s not that it’s a bad tool, but it’s like only having a hammer in your toolbox – not much use for most jobs.
It would also be better if there was a bit more information about what and how the information sources are chosen and sorted. How can you trust the system when you don’t have a clue where it’s coming from?

Compelling Memeorandum

For the past few weeks, I’ve been reading tech news from a new (to me) website – Memeorandum. I’m not wholly sure what it is about Memeorandum – whether it’s the content or the buzz, or both – but I

Oldbies want something that handles a ton of feeds efficiently. This does neither.

I’ve gotten different experiences out of the original political version, and the later twin technical/political versions.

The technical version, though, exposes and highlights the people who talk about themselves. I’ve been a little dismayed at the groupthink, the reinforcement I’ve seen there. I didn’t expect this… thought I’d learn more from a tech subset than I actually have.

Link-analysis is the key technology, and it’s a valuable one. I’m not sure we’ve reached the best usage so far yet, though.
