Techmeme

Techmeme is an informative online platform that primarily acts as a technology news aggregator, and hence keeps its users updated about the happenings around in contemporary technical environs. Techmeme has also been described as the single page; aggregated, archiveable, filtered summary of what is latest and generating conversation. The application finds out the latest technology news or discussion issues through various news websites and blogs. These new stories are compiled and displayed in an order of their importance and relevance. The relevance of the news is estimated on the basis of certain factors, including the duration of the story and its links. The more important stories are displayed on the site with the higher number of links. Based on the linking, Techmeme automatically constructs and changes the list of websites that it monitors in real time. The Techmeme River, displays the Techmeme headlines in a reverse chronological order. On September 12, 2005, Tech.Memeorandum.com was launched by Gabe Rivera. Gaba Rivera was working with Intel as the compiler programmer before he launched Tech.Memeorandum. On July 19, 2007, Tech.Memeorandum was renamed as Techmeme. The most remarkable feature about this astonishing application is that, it is the idea and effort of a single man (the founder, Gaba Rivera). Techmeme has no staff; its only employees other than Rivera are Megan McCarthy and Omer Horvitz. Apart from this, Techmeme was entirely funded by Rivera and had no investors prior to November 2007. Over the years, Techmeme has made many changes to offer the users with the most valuable features. On May 20, 2008 the application was uploaded with a new search engine, which assisted the users to search any of the archived stories that had appeared on the website in form of a full headline. Immediately after two weeks, the application was enhanced with an advanced prospective search feature that facilitated the users to search future results. Techmeme has a number of competitors surviving in the market that extend the similar services. Despite a large number of competitors, including BuzzFeed, Tailrank, Silobreaker, Naubo, Newspond OneSpot etc, Techmeme has succeeded to form its unique place in the online marketplace, due to its special features and valuable services. Over the last 3 years, Techmeme has diligently captured the best and the most relevant technology stories. Further its users can also enjoy the services of this application on their mobile phones, and obtain the most recent updates immediately. Its inherent simplicity and the capacity to quickly grab a story has held it good stead. The application has been designed in a very simple and effective manner. Techmeme lays more stress on quality of content rather than presentation, thus, it has kept the presentation of the content highly clear and uncomplicated. This allows users to easily navigate after entering the search keyword. The website also displays advertisements, but in a very decent manner, so that they do not distract the users in any way. Techmeme does not require users to undergo any registration process. It aims to extend the users with the most updated stories and efficient services in real time. Thus it specifically saves the users from wasting time on filling up the complicated and time consuming forms. The website earns its revenue from the advertisements and the sponsored posts.
