New: Megite video, and Tailrank

So here's the buzz- Why not aggregate every new story posted on sites that link to us, and deliver better news, since they relate to us? Hmm... so now Megite is delivering videos.

Something to watch... watch what the crowd that watches us does. The crowdsourcing of their "News River" provides a seductively automated mirror and lens. Look, ma, no editors!

A similar approach, though not yet with video, is Tailrank. Here is how they say they do it:

"We find the hottest stories by tracking conversations between blogs.

"Tailrank takes into consideration linking behavior, the text of the post, links in common with other users, text relevance, weblog ranking, past performance, and various other factors for recommendations."
