We tried signing up but you have to add a verification code to your homepage, which is one of those things we’re not too keen on doing unless we know there’s a real reason for doing it… is it really necessary?

for a much more refined approach, please see Polymeme — polymeme.com — it attempts to be a Techmeme for the “intellectual” Web. It tracks only 25,000 “most important” blogs and focuses on areas like economics, environment, architecture, etc

Hello guys, for every body who need the RSS Feed for Blogged.com home page. Here you go:

Anyway, talking about “human-powered techmeme”, me and my friend in Jogja, Indonesia are also working for this thing. But frankly speaking, our definition on the word “human-powered aggregator’ is not in the same meaning like what Mr. Kincaid or Blogged.com had defined here.

So instead asking some guys working on the background, we’re going to utilize Gabe Rivera’s techmeme and all blogger themself. But with a plus … plus … plus of course.

Look, I’m not kidding here. But you should wait for us since we dare not to give it a look until we finish it later before september. Hmmm, I hope you don’t consider me as a liar or spam.

For a brief shot, please visit our beta site:

Thanks for Mr. Kincaid for this announcement.

The biggest thing I see missing from news aggregation sites is the fact that the stories have to be timely and socially relevant. (i.e CNN covers breaking news and focuses on stories they estimate their audience will value. Part of this estimate is based on the media’s conversation with itself).

People are social and want to read what everyone else thinks will be important. “Niche” news sites miss out on this fact by pushing readers into a group of one.

Techmeme’s conversational structure highlights the social relevance of a story (people are talking about it). Google news also focuses on conversation (multiple sources covering the same story). Blogged does this too, which is good. They will also be pushed toward technological solutions as mining a database of blogs will become unwieldy, which I think is the way they should head anyhow if not already.

Not bad. Thanks for sharing. Will give it a shot. Don’t know if I will be overwhelmed with info or actually retain it, but an RSS reader would have been nice.

DeafRead has been doing this for almost two years - fortunately because the site focuses on deaf blogs, we don’t have millions of blogs to filter. People take their occasional stab at DeafRead (personal bias and the like), but this has been proved again and again: technology cannot replace human judgment.

Actually I quite liked the site. Nice clean and enticing layout, some reasonable stories. Unfortunately it’s a bit US-centric really. Would be nice if they had a UK version and some other localised sites. Seriously, “Soccer” bottom right. It’s called football damnit, you use your feet…

Good luck.

So I went to blogged and I liked it. I think this will be good for news from sites that aren’t NY Times, WSJ, Reuters. Sometimes I just want to read something fun and not the same old press release crap.

Did you even go to the site?

I’ll give a Blogged a shot! You say they don’t have the resources to keep up with the millions of blogs. Well who the hell has time to read the millions of posts on those blogs. You? Cause I don’t?

I hate techmeme! What a mess!

One thing is missing from Blogged. No RSS Feeds?

Techmeme is irrelevant. If it wasn’t for TC constantly giving Michael Arrington’s best buddy Gabe this much free publicity, it would be just another crappy website.
