    Nice -- that was you, I assume?

    Maybe Google will deliver faster and index faster than Technorati.
    And less fail whales.
    The better Quality of Service will win in the end.

    Hm, I actually like the approach they offer as the majority of blogs that break stories are usually the familiar sources - same as they are on Techmeme. And since the focus is different for Techmeme and Google News with the former focusing a little more on web apps that would have remained unnoticed on Google News completely, I will definitely keep an eye on it as an addition to Techmeme for now.
  • Anthony Ha · 1 year ago
    Yes, I'll probably keep an eye on it, just in case, but I'll be using Google News and Techmeme a lot more.

    True, I also think we will still stick to what we are already accustomed to - but this new product also seems to have an interesting future provided that Google fixes a few things about it.

    The problem here is that they rank results by authority and authority in social media is less important- any tiny source can break a story or rumor, get picked by others and create news. Their approach will not pick up these small sources...

    Are you referring to Google or Techmeme? Sorry to be dense.
  • MartinEdic · 1 year ago
    Actually both- search in social media (which we sorta do) is a completely different animal. Techmeme seems increasingly less relevant to me because I almost never see a story there that I don't already know about.
    And how would Google sort through Tweets, for example? We've got something like 70 million of them in our social media warehouse...
  • Anthony Ha · 1 year ago
    Yeah, I agree that news aggregators should be looking at Twitter. Re: Techmeme, I wish I could say the same, but I guess I'm not as plugged-in as you!

    PS Getting back to your initial point, I do think Techmeme does a decent job of highlighting the initial news source, though it's sometimes slow to do so.
