  • Mark Evans · 11 months ago
    Louis,

    If I could go to a single place for all my tech news, that would be awesome! Right now, I mostly use Techmeme, Hacker News and Twitter. I also get daily updates from Social Median, which is a great resource. I'll definitely check out Techfuga. For what it's worth, the name is no so good but if the service works, I'll give them some slack. :)

    I can't say there will ever be one place to get all tech news, as
    every system designed by someone else is flawed in some way. Digg is
    overrun with fanatics, and Techmeme's algorithms are secret, plagued
    with charges of bias and clear bias. The best solution is to design
    your own tech news hub. I've done that by using Google Reader and
    FriendFeed. I define the sources and add when I find new sources, or
    delete as they become irrelevant. Techfuga, like AllTop, tries to
    solve it by saying yes to everything, and tremendous filtering is
    needed.
