Congratulations! I'd be curious about the scaling problems. I assume you were trying to source the content from the community? In general, the aggregation / filtering services that I like have that more as a feature of their site rather than being its sole focus. That means, aggregation / filtering is definitely done with a more human touch, editorial bent. This one is owned by the Chronicle of Higher Education and is not necessarily about profits. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arts_%26_Letters_Daily http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arts_%26_Letters_Daily And, we cannot forget the grand-daddy of all tech aggregation sites. http://techmeme.com http://techmeme.com And where would the Internet be with 'X and you won't believe what happened next' and 'N things you should now about Y'. BuzzFeed has an 'area' full of people (not 'room' because it is Open Plan) who actively look for content that is going viral/could go viral. To their credit, they are using their top-10 (Comscore) ranking and going after more serious journalism.
