Gabe Rivera is hilarious on Twitter, if you enjoy "clever asshole" humor a la Maciej Ceglowski's schtick: <a href="https://twitter.com/gaberivera" rel="nofollow">https://twitter.com/gaberivera</a><p>Behind the veneer of snark, he's also a very smart commentator on the biz.<p>Techmeme River is one of my bookmarks for keeping a pulse on what's happening: <a href="http://techmeme.com/river" rel="nofollow">http://techmeme.com/river</a>
Even though tech is my primary passion, I find I use his Memeorandum site (for political news) way more than I ever used Techmeme. For me, the front page of this site serves my tech news needs better than any other.<p>EDIT: Didn't mean to be off topic. Put another way, "If you really like Techmeme, don't miss Memeorandum for politics."
I am new to the scene and definitely gonna bookmark Techmeme. So basically, if my understanding from skimming the article is accurate, TM is very similar to HN except that they have a team hand-selecting the articles rather than relying on a vote system?
Have loved TechMeme since the beginning. Awesome product. My only dig is that it is not very useful until about 10-11am PST. After that, I check it a 3-5 times per day.
Just in case this wasn't meta enough, his twitter linked in comments here now references this thread as <i>Important thread on how I'm an "asshole"</i>, how deep can this recurse?<p><a href="https://mobile.twitter.com/gaberivera/status/843917237916319744" rel="nofollow">https://mobile.twitter.com/gaberivera/status/843917237916319...</a>
