Ask YC: Sites similar to News.YC

9 points by johng 18y ago

I know it's been asked before, but I spent 30 minutes using Google to search the YC archives and the keywords are just too abundant and the first 20 pages yielded no results. I'm looking for sites similar to news.ycombinator.com -- Just quick blurbs about what's new and happening in the nerdosphere. On any given day about 10 items interest me, so I'm looking for other sources for more data. Anyone?

As an aside, SearchYC (http://searchyc.com/ http://searchyc.com/) and HNSearch (http://www.webmynd.com/html/hackernews.html http://www.webmynd.com/html/hackernews.html - Firefox plugin) might help you if Google isn't.

http://newmogul.com http://newmogul.com if you're into business, financials and that sort of stuff. It's run by our very own nickb (http://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=nickb http://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=nickb)

Thanks for the suggestion guys... it looks like dzone.com from the thread you linked is exactly the type of site I'm looking for.

That brings up another question.... since newmogul.com and AHN seem to use the same script, is it open source somewhere?

  Slashdot has been useless for at least the last 2 years. They even removed the link to the "developers" section from their category list on the front page, though "idle" and "games" remain. Never heard of dzone.

Fred Wilson covers off the agregators he uses in the comments here, which might provide some inspiration: http://www.avc.com/a_vc/2009/04/celebrating-aggregation.html http://www.avc.com/a_vc/2009/04/celebrating-aggregation.html While slightly different, the reddit code is here, and publicly available: http://code.reddit.com/ http://code.reddit.com/ lastly, if you're looking for environmental news topics, I've slapped together: http://www.environmentalbubble.com/ http://www.environmentalbubble.com/
