Via Dave Winer’s Morning Coffee Notes podcast comes news of Top 10 Sources - a site which adds an editorial layer to RSS feeds, picking out the top 10 sources of news on any topic:
At Top 10 Sources, we publish a daily “Top 10″ si…

The attribution has always been handled at the individual post level, with a link from every post and post fragment to the original post in the actual blog. The opinion expressed by Michael Arrington here on the TechCrunch site (above, in the initial presentation), that “Top 10 Sources properly attributes
and links to the original blog content”, is likely a reference to the existence of the feed title (blog name) and direct links to the individual posts in the actual blog.

In addition, in response to focused comments such as Seth’s and others, we have now implemented a link from the feed title (blog name) to the home page of the actual blog. When you click on the feed title, it opens the home page of the blog in the same window (good). We are currently working to implement this behavior for the links from the rendered posts to the original blogs, which still open in a JavaScript Popup window and which must, instead, open in the same window.

Thanks so much to the community for a very productive discussion, which I am sure will continue in these interesting times. -Indigo ( Technical Editor, toptensources.com )

He’s commented before about this, esp. re: Bloglines and how he would not be a happy camper having them make money off Ads while displaying the full content of WIN blogs.

Pretty sure re-publishing full article content that’s copyrighted and not Creative Commons licensed for such use would be a no-no, in a legal sense. Whether they can get away with it is another story…

I think techcrunch out does digg and will definintely out do this website EVEN with a large team of editors.

I don’t know the owner of this site has but he/she’s sure done a deal with the devil to get these hot links!

So wheres the value ??

We are trying to listen to you and in many respects, agree wholeheartedly with your suggestions and have implemented or are implementing a large number of them.

And I’ve personally contacted a number of people who are top ten sources in our pages — in particular the “Web 2.0″ list to be sure they are okay with staying on the list. Ask John Battelle, and he’ll tell you he and John Palfrey and I have been in close communication.

In fact, Mike Arrington, I emailed you as well last Thursday but haven’t gotten any reply. I used the email you listed as your contact “editor@techcrunch.com” — was this incorrect?

If anyone has an issue with appearing on our pages, please email me at halley at google dot com.

We know our success will rise or fall based on our responsiveness to this community and we are part of and LOVE this community. We are bloggers!

You are right…I was mislead a bit by the title of your post. Would you like me to remove your link, or move it to “defenders”?

However, some people have contacted me saying that now they’ve realized they are aggregated in TTS, they’ve sent emails saying they want to opt-out, but received no response. Also, the idea that feeds are republished (in full) *before* consent is given rubs me the wrong way.

Since they just announced an executive team, I’m guessing that they’re going to monetize the concept sooner or later. However, if they attempt to stick advertising on any of these pages, they can bet the entire blogosphere (well, at least the bloggers who care about copyright infringement) will come in arms and publicly flog them. Why? Because TTS uses other site’s content to draw readers in, therefore running advertising on their site is essentially using other people’s content to make themselves money. A huge misstep in my book.

I guess we’ll have to wait and see on this one.
