Memeorandum is everything newspapers can never be
I really get off on Memeorandum. And Blogniscient. And Digg (which is approaching Slashdot popularity and had its sift and rank processed dissected). The concept of blog tracking services is so revolutionary, yet so expected and logical. It's everything we could have asked for, but never would have been able to figure out.
Aggregation-based Web 2.0 apps of this type are everything a newspaper should, but can't, be - an amalgamated collection of articles of interest, continuously updated with great frequency. All feature segmented, categorial content, all based on what the community is talking about. Print and broadcast media will never be able to touch this immediacy or relevance.
The only thing missing from these services, in my opinion, is seamless translation to the mobile world. Let me take them with me on the road, and I'll never stop at a newsstand again.
