Awesome answers here. Some self marketing - I developed a parser for some engineering blogs. I did it for myself, and created a simple web app to serve content - http://kubiq.co . I'm going to add more companies soon. Enjoy!

Btw, I'm thinking to create iOS app as well. Anyone will use it?

Thanks for sharing! Search enhancement on web will be helpful. I will not use app.

What are peoples' thoughts on the marketing effectiveness of quality relative to quantity in blogging? We have recently started publishing what we consider to be very high quality material (the majority of them have front-paged on HN if that's any indication). Most of these have been published on [1] so far but we're in the process of transitioning to a more official company blog [2]. A close friend who really knows…

BTW, I am a kind of reader who is interested in meta stories, i.e., stories behind the stories. Following you blog and I find the meta link on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=sangaline.com It would be interesting to do some graph analysis on it.

Awesome, I really love meta-analyses too! Our product involves web scraping so it's a natural fit to write articles about scraping and analyzing data in general. A few of our articles so far [1,2,3] would probably be classified as meta-analyses and we have some more in the pipeline! Feel free to sign up for the newsletter in the footer of http://intoli.com if you would like to read those articles after they're published :-).

https://github.com/kilimchoi/engineering-blogs is a good curated list

Why do people insist on calling these dumps of all links they can find/get submitted in PRs "curated"?! It has almost 600 entries, with no extra content or structure...

I tried to submit a few a while ago and they said they weren't rigorous enough, so that's curation enough for me.
