In "meme"- moriam

I recently re-edited my newsfeeds on this site. Every so often it's a good idea to do a review and cull the feeds that are not maintaining the level of content intensity that you want. You also need to renew; to get some fresh feed info into your aggregator and look at some new ideas.

That's what I thought I was doing when I added Scoble's favorite, tech.Memeorandum. Memeorandum has been lauded as a tech blog engine that focuses on the "top" stories. No, I don't think so. It's just another one of those tech nerd ideas -- I can say that because I'm part of the club -- that really isn't a very good idea at all. I'm not sure what kind of ordering or editing principles get used at tech.Memeorandum but the m-PHA-sis is in all the wrong places. The "meme" is becoming so influential in this little techno-blogger world that it is driving attention to some pretty marginal ideas.

So "meme", my good fellow; you're fired. I'll do the work myself. Get out of my aggregator and rest in peace.
