Thoughts from the Admin
While we were working on our previous site, the failed tech news community, we thought lots about what else we could do. We considered a Newsvibes/Pageflakes competitior for a while but after a while we realised we wanted a simple site, that required less administration and didnt require us to copy and paste from other sites.
We looked around, and its clear Techmeme is the current leader, and justifiably. Howevers its not perfect, there is plenty of other news that is not picked up and most of its traffic comes from Techcrunch, its not a particulary fair representation of tech news.
Whilst TTi is young, the development team is small and focused and we have a number of features in the pipeline. At the moment we are focused on optimizing the TTi_Bot and preparing the site for launch.
As the internet and tech community continues to develop at the current fast pace, a lot of changes will occur over the next few months. The announcement of Live Mesh is Microsofts attempt to unify information and resources across your devices, and access the your information will become a bigger issue. We plan to incorporate a new system on TTi wherby you can better pick the news you want, and then have it delievered through a number of information systems, including RSS, Email, IM, Twitter Posts and more.
