This is great! Are you using a news API or pulling in RSS feeds yourself? Is there a list of what sources are included?

discuss

Reading RSS myself, OLD SCHOOL: Cron Jobs. PHP. Hahaha! List of sources: At present, no; but if its of interest, it would not be hard to add.

I should also add - please post any recommendations re: sources to cover.

Hey - still thinking about sources here. With the data I have, I could actually do an interesting analysis of news sources - i.e.:

- how often do their stories become members of clusters? - how "fast" are they to publish on a topic vs. other competitors - i.e.: who "breaks" the news? - what tags (people, companies, topics) does a given source stick close? Which do they shy away from?

Thanks very much for a really interesting set of ideas to explore!

Note that the top news breaker is: The Verge, having broken about 10% of stories on my site; TechCrunch is next at 8, followed by ... MacRumours at 7.
