#12Someone should scrape all the blog URLs from our news.yc profiles.

#13I'll add mine here, I try not to participate in blog noise and only write about things I've actually, so it might not be so interesting for memetracking:

#14I wonder if you could generate this automatically. Let me explain where I'm coming from. I made the Theory of Computing Blog Aggregator (http://feedworld.net/toc), and part of the reason I didn't set up more aggregators with the software was that you need domain-knowledge to create the blogrolls.
My idea was that you could start from 2 or 3 "seeds" on a given topic, find which blogs they are linking to, filter them by pagerank or technorati rank or whatever, and use an off-the-shelf machine learning tool to determine if they are on the same topic. I never got around to it; other projects I'm working on took up all of my time.
But if you can build this intelligence, you can create aggregators/memetrackers/whatever for an unlimited number of topics. And further create communities around each one and so on.
If someone wants to collaborate on this idea, let me know.
P.S. To build my aggregator, I started off with planet planet (http://www.planetplanet.org/), but made a bunch of improvements like automatic comment import. There is an unreleased version with a lot more features (including a google reader-like UI) that I will be happy to show anyone who's interested.

In a perfect world, that's exactly how I'd do it, too. Right now though, I'm still working out the bugs on how to get the mix of sources right and make the presentation interesting. Machine learning is being applied to which sources make the front page and lead the memes, based on clicks from readers. Ideally, the "picking up" of sources would also be automated as well.

#18I'd love to plug my blog here - I've touched on coding a few times but it's generally tech with a dabbling of what's up with my startup here and there and problems we have/how i get around them. http://paulstamatiou.com
lol-- isn't your blog banned from digg?

#20So my blog is http://kid666.com/ which has a blogroll of a bunch of engineers who work(ed) for Yahoo in Europe.
There is also the Yahoo blog directory which is probably hideously out of date. (http://kid666.com/yahoo-blogs-employee-bloggers-directory/)
