Hi, I am sorry.. I didn't get the difference between Techmeme & techofnow. can you elaborate more? may be I am too used to techmeme that I was seeing whether the "+" symbol comes up before the dicussion section. Also, you can probably show few discussions and show a link as "more discussion on the same topic"

He wrote that techofnow is completely automated, while, I am guessing, techmeme is crowd-sourced or somehow manually edited.

I think that's a good differentiating point.

FWIW, 10 out of 15 stories on the site is, as of now, about mobile technologies. Does techofnow need more diverse sources?

Right. The automation versus editing is the key difference between techofnow and techmeme. Techmeme has several editors that will promote stories, or alter conversation grouping, based on an editor's discretion.

I think your right. techofnow is too mobile heavy right now.
