If you’re a technology news hound, you’re probably well aware of Techmeme, a tech news aggregator that continually crawls the web looking for the most talked about and linked to tech news stories. The ones that get the most buzz appear on Techmeme. If all you want to know are the hottest tech news stories, then all you need to do is follow Techmeme.

Techmeme was launched by industry friend Gabe Rivera who has also launched WeSmirch for tracking hot celebrity gossip stories, memeorandum for political news, and Ballbug for baseball news.

Now, for all us media fiends, Rivera has launched Mediagazer which is for tracking media news. Prior to Mediagazer I relied on PaidContent, which is a meta aggregation site on all news about the industry of making money from content. They provide an editorial touch, but they don’t let you know which are the most popular stories. Mediagazer will do that for you. And what I like most about Rivera’s sites is that not only do you see the host story, but he also provides links to some of the hot blogs that are talking about the story as well.

And just recently added to all of Rivera’s “meme” sites is an easy to share button. Click on the icon next to the media outlet and you can share the original or the Mediagazer link with others through Twitter, Facebook, or just copy and paste the link. I prefer the Mediagazer link because it comes with a summary and all the other links of blogs that are participating in the discussion.
