From this article in the Guardian, a look at the benefits of both techmeme and memeorandum .

Confession: We’re tech news junkies. In order to be any good at what we do (tech blogging), we kind of have to be.

If you are a blogger, you have probably noticed that when a news breaks, the person who is the first one to write about it gets all the credit, regardless of what others have to say.
