Gabe Rivera and Techmeme
- bastian 10y agoGabe is the man. Fun fact: We hired some great people through Techmeme's pretty clever who's hiring in tech section.
- icpmacdo 10y agoI can't stand his personality on Twitter but techmeme is useful. I suspect, as this article touch on, he is not as mean spirited in meat space.
- exolymph 10y agoGabe Rivera is hilarious on Twitter, if you enjoy "clever asshole" humor a la Maciej Ceglowski's schtick: https://twitter.com/gaberivera https://twitter.com/gaberivera Behind the veneer of snark, he's also a very smart commentator on the biz. Techmeme River is one of my bookmarks for keeping a pulse on what's happening: http://techmeme.com/river http://techmeme.com/river
- basch 10y agoGabe, Maciej and Jason Hirschhorn all have a "ill build the product i want to use every day, feedback and scaling be damned" attitude, and I love it.
- kkotak 10y agoJust realized that I'm commenting on a post about an article about a person who republishes news articles from other sites. Deep.
- vonnik 10y agoEvery medium has a tendency to create work about itself, the subject its makers understand the best. Hollywood does La la land. Buzzfeed covers Techmeme. Novelists write novels about novelists writing novels: Misery, The Sportswriter, half of Philip Roth, some of Joyce.
- pibefision 10y agoAny insight about the technology stack Techememe is using or any other technical article about how they crawl & rank news? TKS!
- campuscodi 10y agoIt's done manually. They have editors who select news. You can tip news stories via Twitter.
- stevenj 10y agoI'd love to have a Techmeme for the finance industry.
- vineet 10y agoI am building an engine that might be able to power it. E-mail me (see my profile) and I will be able to help get this off the ground.
- Muuuchem 10y agoI am new to the scene and definitely gonna bookmark Techmeme. So basically, if my understanding from skimming the article is accurate, TM is very similar to HN except that they have a team hand-selecting the articles rather than relying on a vote system?
- Pxl_Buzzard 10y agoTechmeme mostly has human curation and a little bit of automation, though it is hard to tell from the outside how much that factors in. Human curators also rename article titles to provide a summary of the contents in an attempt to save you a click if you don't want more detailed information.
- rschroed 10y agoIsn't the other way around? Mostly algo / automation with a layer or curation? At least that's how I think it used to work, maybe that's changed. At the very least it seems like the clustering is algorithmic and "most" of the ranking. Source: Too lazy to look up the 6 year old article that I kinda remember talking about this.
- basch 10y agotechmeme is like drudgereport. a small team posting hyperlinks to what you should consider most important. the river is a chronology http://www.techmeme.com/river http://www.techmeme.com/river
- grey-area 10y agoJust in case this wasn't meta enough, his twitter linked in comments here now references this thread as Important thread on how I'm an "asshole", how deep can this recurse? https://mobile.twitter.com/gaberivera/status/843917237916319744 https://mobile.twitter.com/gaberivera/status/843917237916319...
- jasonwilk 10y agoHave loved TechMeme since the beginning. Awesome product. My only dig is that it is not very useful until about 10-11am PST. After that, I check it a 3-5 times per day.
- spinchange 10y agoEven though tech is my primary passion, I find I use his Memeorandum site (for political news) way more than I ever used Techmeme. For me, the front page of this site serves my tech news needs better than any other. EDIT: Didn't mean to be off topic. Put another way, "If you really like Techmeme, don't miss Memeorandum for politics."
- DonMarlon021 10y agoLOVE Techmeme! & Gabe's quirky funny post on twitter is awesome lol Shoutout 2 Techmeme & Gabe!
