I 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.
