Techmeme,etc. all sum up what you should be reading, not what it is. Techmeme/HN tells you where to find the news easily, not what the news is easily.

- greyman 18y agoCan you give some example, then?
- jasonlbaptiste 18y agoYou visit the site, there are two updates per day posted. Each update has the most important headlines of the past 12 hours. Example summary or story: Scrabulous Gets Shut Down on Facebook -North America ONLY , not international -Decision made by Scrabulous devs, NOT FACEBOOK -Culmination of Hasbro suit filed last week on DMCA grounds -EA has US rights + real networks with international rights
- d0mine 18y agoIs the goal to represent news in the twitter format?
- jasonlbaptiste 18y agono, not at all. closest thing to twitter might be the brevity and simplicity. it will be longer than 140 chars tho.
- d0mine 18y agoIt could be a Greasemonkey script which would attach available summaries to links on HN, reddit. Summaries could be picked up from your blog or from comments with special tag "Summary: " EDIT: I mean m/^Summary:\n\n/m
- jasonlbaptiste 18y agoI like it actually. Had thought about that later on in terms of scale.
