Memeorandum

6 June 2007

Do you ever have trouble finding solid news pieces and blog posts in the short term following some event? I have that problem all the time. Googling for news stories isn’t always that productive in the first few hours after an important event takes place.

I’ve discovered what appears to be a very good news aggregator site. Memeorandum.com is a news aggregator that seems to focus on news from a conservative perspective. The Drudge Report is a news aggregator but Memeorandum seems different. For one thing, Memeorandum also lists conservative blogs in their featured posts section.

From Memeorandum’s “About” section:

Online news is changing. Increasingly, stories are broken and analyzed in near real-time and away from established news sites.

memeorandum offers you a window into this new world of news, focusing primarily on U.S. politics and current affairs.

It auto-generates a news summary every 5 minutes, drawing on experts and pundits, insiders and outsiders, media professionals and amateur bloggers.

The site is somewhat customizable. You can choose to have links open in a new window, for example. You can also choose whether or not discussion excerpts are displayed and you can choose your font size. If you’ve been looking for a good all-in-one news aggregator, this could be it.
