I don't think it loses too much ground...it's here to stay, at least for another decade.

mg1313··on Ask HN: What are the top technology aggregation sites?
Well, if there are only 3 technology sites out there which allow user voting and comments (Reddit, Dzone and Digg) maybe it's time for another one?
mg1313··on Ask HN: What are the top technology aggregation sites?
Those tech news sites from Popurls don't allow user voting (just comments), as far as I know. The same for Alltop.
mg1313··on Ask HN: What are the top technology aggregation sites?
Yep, you're right about Techmeme, I was paying attention just to the "aggregator" word. Soon, another technology aggregator will be at www.beginstop.com (now it redirects).

mg1313··on Damn the torpedoes
Soooo...this teacher of mine said I could never go to the best class in the high school because only the best were going. I wasn't the best but I was stubborn: really, only the best? Teacher, you don't really know inspite of being my teacher several years. I went to that best class after taking the exam. And i was the only one from my colleagues to do so. Take that...teacher!

I worked in a coal mine for several years (no other alternatives at that time). One day I tokk the chance to get out for good and do something else. My work colleagues said I will not find anything else (tough economic times, thougher than this one in my country). Well, I learned computers and never loked back. I'm working now as a web developer (10 years since I started).

I'm mingling now with theidea of changing my career again, becoming a filmmaker. I know I can do it and nobody can stop me, that's for sure!

Thanks for this post, John.

mg1313··on How do you build an aggregator?
So,using one of those crawlers presented in that article would be enough? I read something about Nutch,Lucene,Sphinx but I'm not sure how the process of building an agregator works: go crawl some websites,get the data in the database or disk, analyze the data, display the data according to some specified criterias. Are those crawlers spidering RSS feeds or a special crawler is needed for that? A diagram would be helpul...
