Do they really catch all the most interesting stories? Not in my experience. My RSS reader does a better job for me. And for somebody that does not know how to use RSS I find something like alltop.com almost better.

I checked out the sites a couple of weeks ago. The content that I am really interested in, I tend to check at the original sources, and then I am just annoyed to find the repetition on the Loud3r network. Also as simple as their design may be, there is just not enough information on there.

The way it is now, it does not convince me, lets see what they make happen in the future.

Yeah, stupid names never work for web companies. Stick to smart, meaningful names like Google or Yahoo.

I went to the LOUD3R website (THEY SHOULD CHANGE THE NAME TO SHOUT3R) and I am now blind. Thanks TechCrunch.

One of the dumber sites on tc for awhile, although the tech may have some potential.

the trend comes and goes, i personally don’t see a future for it as it’s not done right, the branding is horrible and typing the domain name is even harder and unnatural.

also this Lowell Goss (founder) dude is freaking annoying with his commenting. he needs to brush his teeth! have you see his dumb pic. ok that’s enough, lets move on…

Hmmm. Surely in the long run, these horrible domains will hinder them.

I don’t exactly see a New York Times or another big media company putting their branding all over new3r.com

Checked it out and my first response would be that attribution is a little fuzzy. For example, the TC article about G’s Russian company acquisition cites, “Full Article At TechCrunch Web 2.0″, while it should be just, “Full Article At TechCrunch”. Further, all the text is the same color.

It is very important for me to be able to quickly scan where these articles are coming from.

I found it interesting that clicking an article’s title takes one to a page with the same summary where comments are encouraged. This competes with friendfeed and fav.or.it (and hackernews, to some extent) in that there is an attempt to make the convo happen there.

Another advert monetization site? good luck.

“Discovery” will highlight the next wave of internet innovation – not just with news. Discovery means being suggested something (content, products, services, news, etc.) that you would of never thought was relevant to a certain topic you are reading about. This will be done based off meta-tag relationships, users trends, and other various criteria… this is coming and its the next wave. Look here for more info on this blog I came across… http://www.goth...te.blogspot.com

What’s a “memetracker”?

The listings are essentially semantic search results for a defined set of terms.
Funny that you should mention Crush3r — the founders of both companies have worked together on and off for a dozen years.

I’ve been watching the evolution of LOUD3R since pre-launch and I’ve found that every time I check out one of the sites I get distracted and read a bunch of stories — a testament to the quality and timeliness of the content. With the voting, ranking, and socializing that dominates Web 2.0 these sites stand out in their simplicity and focus — they catch the most interesting stories of the day in each category, which is no small feat.

One thing the review fails to mention: Lowell, the founder, used to be in charge of user experience for the Yahoo front page, so he knows a bit about building for mass appeal.

TechCrunch comments are a lot like where YouTube comments have gone

Thank you for the thorough review. Your feedback regarding site crossover and cross-site login are spot on. The reader comments regarding global ranking and a toolbar are also great ideas for us to consider.

The cross-site login will be coming very soon. We do have a universal profile system, so you only need one account, but right now you have to sign in separately for each site.

Comments and feedback are important to us. Please let us know what you think and how we can improve the product. feedback@loud3r.com

Stumbleupon is also a wonderful tool to discover some news, and I think the most powerful product is the the toolbar plugin.
