Louis Gray on Techmeme's leaderboard
Louis Gray provides great analysis about Techmeme’s leaderboard, which tracks which sites have the most weight in providing news within Techmeme’s ever evolving publishing system.
Says Louis: “With good content, and good linkage from others, reaching TechMeme is available to anyone. While Gabe’s algorithms are a well-kept secret, it’s unquestioned that the data is driven mathematically, and doesn’t smack of human intervention to push one site’s stories over another.”
I agree. I head to Techmeme at least several times a day as it seems to be one of the best places on the Internet to get the most relevant, interesting, and important web and tech news stories – and, importantly, the evolving conversations around them. And I’ve never gotten a sense that founder Gabe Rivera or anyone else is purposefully tilting the rankings one way or the other.
