You only see the information that confirms your own personal biases and selfish interests.

Outlets that produce, *EDIT* and curate their own stories give us a valuable service and content that wouldn’t come from perky little blogs about the latest funny video. Automated bots give us a wide range of what is grabbing attention. This middle way is a good bridge. All have their own value, and as a geezer who worked in news before there was a webby-netty thingy, I like that we now have all three. I envy today’s generation and their access to information that reaches so much further than my library and television did in the 1970s. Back in the day when men were men and, um, something or other about sheep.

The folks like Gabe that can provide a layer of value added editing as in the case of Techmeme, will see success as the news world evolves.

Reddit is not a replacement for Techmeme, because you will not get links to related articles in Reddit.

It works reasonably well and, from what I understand, serves as a sandbox for testing new ranking and grouping algorithms.

There are actually 4 sites, the 2 not mentioned are Memeorandum, a site for political and current event news, and Wesmirch, which features celebrity and tabloid news. The Techmeme approach would probably not work for, as an example, food & wine.
