Meme me up, Scotty
So I’m reading through the comments on a Scoble post about his reviews of desktop search products, and someone writes in the comments section "I wish there were a tech version of Memeorandum." Huh? Memorandum?
Following my nose, I discover that this site aggregates both traditional news stories and related blog posts. These guys rate stories thus (as explained in About):
Articles are ordered by one of two ranking methods: most relevant first (the default ranking), and newest first.
It feels very Google News to me - the big exception being the integration of blogs, presumably by using some form of Technorati-style filter.
So now I’m left with three questions.
1. When will Google News add blogs?
2. Dang! Why didn’t I discover this back in February?
3. Ditto re the Scoble comment - where’s the tech version?

RE: Google News having blogs.
Well, if you call a site such as engadget.com a blog. Then yes, Google News does have a few blogs in it.

Hi William - let me clarify. I mean when will Google News break out blogs as a separate source in a similar fashion to Memorandum, not blend blog links with traditional news. I think the distinction is helpful.

nice find Mark. A shame it’s so US-centric.

Mark, Mike, I’m hoping to add new sections in the coming months along with other improvements. One or more Tech sections would probably be some of the earliest additions.
British and / or Australian editions could be viable…I need to study this.
Thanks for the feedback!
