Techmeme Taps Twitter For Faster Headlines, Pithy Context
It's been no secret that for a number of years now, quite a few posts you see on this site and others come directly as a result of a tweet from someone. It usually works like this: someone tweets out a bit of information either to quickly promote it ? or even better, that they probably shouldn't ? and we jump all over it, adding context. But as fast as we are at that, it can still take anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours to get those posts up. And in some cases, that's just not good enough for an aggregator like Techmeme. They want it now. And now they'll be able to get it now. Today, the service is launching the ability to turn tweets into Techmeme headlines. Yep, they'll no longer have to wait for the first tech blog to jump on the news. They'll just put up the tweet itself. That is, if it's worthy.
