Re: Why I Read Techmeme

Techmeme is a bunch of people who know each other blogging TO each other.

Wilson's post makes this evidently clear. The "About" section of Techeme reads: "At this moment, the next big story in technology may reside on a blog you've never heard of or a news site you don't have time to scan."

Yet - every time I take a look at Techmeme (once a week at best) the Titles and Related Links are always the same people. Always. And Wilson's post "that he saw a post from his friend Evslin" speaks to this. (I like Tom' s blog too).

Why do you (or anyone else) need Gabe Rivera to connect the dots for you?

Techmeme would be infinitely more interesting if I could get an opinion or story that is NOT written by Scoble, Wilson, Schonfeld, Venturebeat, Jarvis, Israel, Carr or Arrington. All of these bloggers are decent writers, etc. I have nothing against any of them (you) - except maybe Arrington :). j/k All of the writers are good in their own right - and I'm not trying to take anything away from them.

My point is that everyone jokes that Techmeme is a circle-jerk....this isn't a joke. Techmeme IS a circle-jerk.

Where are the "blogs you've never heard of?"

I think you are off by a factor of 2. Just a hunch.

Execution and Cash Flow are more important than all of the criteria listed in the above post.

There are too many "me too" companies that have succeeded with worse technology, with changing business models and who grew from features to products over time.

Its all about execution - and less about technology. Technology works, obviously, in your favor, but execution trumps everything.

It isn't about how much Google can/will pay.

It's simply Game Theory, in action, to get their way. They won't spend a dime and they'll get their way.
