I wrote something about the coming emergence of news aggregators:

“I think in the next couple of months, as these technologies continue improving, more people will turn their attention towards online newspapers and the competition will only get hotter as people begin to see the size of market. Algorithimic/automatic newspapers are disruptive technologies that can disrupt the paper-based distribution model of current newspapers. Currently, this sector looks classically disruptive because the quality and relevancy is not very advanced. I’m sure many people will scoff at it. But disruptive technologies being disruptive will soon exceed expectations and become good enough. I’m sure incorporating some kind of evolutionary/learning algo could help it in this aspect.

Maybe in a few years, having your own automatic newspaper will be as trendy as having your own blog.”

Typo btw… “feal-time” …

Also. I’m not even sure what this means other than a marketing pitch.

By definition you can’t have a “realtime” memetracker because the community has to think about it before it explodes and becomes a meme. This takes time…

Should be interesting to watch… I TOLD you this is a new space

I do like “memetracker” as a name though…

Thank you for the nice comments.

We figured there’s no real need to collect people’s email addresses since everyone who would sign up is probably subscribed to your feed.

Our ad optimization system is actually pretty general–we’re just testing with Amazon since their API is nice.

We’re excited to see how people use it once we’re launched and to talk to folks about what we can build for them.
