I can't stand his personality on Twitter but techmeme is useful. I suspect, as this article touch on, he is not as mean spirited in meat space.

Gabe Rivera is hilarious on Twitter, if you enjoy "clever asshole" humor a la Maciej Ceglowski's schtick: https://twitter.com/gaberivera

Behind the veneer of snark, he's also a very smart commentator on the biz.

Just realized that I'm commenting on a post about an article about a person who republishes news articles from other sites. Deep.

Any insight about the technology stack Techememe is using or any other technical article about how they crawl & rank news? TKS!

It's done manually. They have editors who select news. You can tip news stories via Twitter.

I am building an engine that might be able to power it. E-mail me (see my profile) and I will be able to help get this off the ground.

Gabe, Maciej and Jason Hirschhorn all have a "ill build the product i want to use every day, feedback and scaling be damned" attitude, and I love it.
