  1. Re:Think of the back-end info this gives them by costas · · Score: 2, Interesting · on Google buys Pyra Labs

    I completely agree. I've been building up my newsbot to do just that: sniff out interesting new articles/web memes based on weblogs and inter-linking. I don't know if I could ever compete with Google+Blogger though, as you need a lot of users for the results to get more and more interesting --and noone has more users than Blogger. I think this buyout fits the model.

    Try memigo. It's run by code; no human editors to mess things up. Also, memigo will attach the first (and *only* the first) Slashdot discussion to each link. Most of the time, memigo scoops /. anyway (but the /. discussion will appear there when it gets posted here).

  4. Take a look at memigo by costas · · Score: 3, Interesting · on Wading Through Weblogs, One Idea at a Time

    [This is a plug]

    Memigo spots memes and interesting news ahead of weblogs, including Slashdot, instead of relying on trailing metrics like blogs. How? it monitors how users rate individual articles and creates personalised recommendations for each user (yep, kinda like Amazon).

    The sites and articles are also inserted into a web of trust, so when a new article/meme shows up, it inherits the trusts of its author and recommenders. The point is to be a leading indicator of interest and sniff out interesting news first...

    To be fair, memigo parses a few blogs too (that tend to make news, rather than follow them, such as /.); but really it can use anything as a trust metric.

    Try it, you will be pleasantly suprised --yes, you need a login for the personal recommendations, but there is no requirement for any personal info, including any sort of e-mail address...

  5. Re:Waddaya have to do to get a story posted here? by costas · · Score: 2 · on Scientists Discover What Makes Geckos Stick

    You could submit the story to a bot; memigo is run by code and it regularly beats /. to science/tech stories.

    The site I run (here) tries to do exactly this for meta-browsing. Give it a shot.

  7. Re:There's a whole lot - and you can have them too by costas · · Score: 2 · on New Linux News Portal - LinuxDailyNews

    My website is not linux-focused, but it also aggregates news from tech news sites --and also filters them, ranks them (based on user opinion) and links to the discussion on /. or K5 if it was linked from there: memigo

    I hate to link a beta-level site from /., but that's exactly what I am trying out...

    Hmmm... I can top that.
