- seiji 13y agohighscalability is a strange reposty/blogspam aggregation thing that takes information from other places and just puts it up on their own site. I think they started having some original content, but it's still mostly second hand reports of source material found elsewhere. (Think of it more as somebody's personal notes about how things work and not an exclusive source of breaking news or architecture revelations.)
- chaz 13y agoI find a lot of value in the summarization. Frankly, I'd rather read the notes on a 38 minute video and maybe watch the original source, rather than have to watch 38 minutes without knowing what the value will be. Aggregation and filtering is value, too. Like HN, it's a channel with the expectation of a certain type of content. I can't possibly discover good tech talks (or any other content) entirely on my own.
- nasalgoat 13y agoThe signal/noise ratio on highscalability is significantly good that it is well worth following - the quality and usefulness of the content is often much better than even HN, of which I have about a 1/100 ratio of click to ignore.
- ketralnis 13y agoYes, nobody was interviewed or anything to put this together. They just cobbled together some (mostly very old!) articles
- jedberg 13y agoI wish they would put this disclaimer at the top of their articles. :(
- billybob255 13y agoIt is, they link to the presentation in the beginning of the article.
