Yeah, I am a techmeme addict. I have bloglines and google reader, but I am--even after all this time--a techmeme girl.
So it was intriguing to get a note from the developer of a new--brand new--aggregator--called techfuga asking if I could check it out. Could, yes. Did, just now, and the thing is both insanely addictive and less intelligent than TM, my main squeeze.
techfuga, basically aggregates not only a whole bunch of leading tech blogs, but lifestreaming services like friendfeed, all in one interface. I particularly liked the ability to sort by new and by source---but I also think that the biggest value here is for us compulsive information-gobblers who like lots of data to scan and seize, not for normal people who want a nicely arranged front page--for that techmeme is still #1, thought with some poking techfuga could be competitive.
definitely worth a look.
