I'm co-founder at mention. As we browse way more sources than Google does, you need to train the anti-noise technology a bit. After a few days, you should be all set!

try presstler - we´re coming out of beta super soon - and this seems to be the perfect time! ;)

if it's http://www.presstler.com, that seems to go in a different direction, I'm usually more interested in specific topics/items/technologies.
That said, it sounds interesting anyway so I'll give it a try :)

ya the launchrock text could probably use a bit of an overhaul - haven't really bothered with it since we´re pushing for the open beta :) - thanks for your interest. sneak preview will go out soon enough!
Next I tried mention.net: 4 results not even related to my search, the rest were all overview sites instead of the article. For example it showed a kickstarter category page as recently updated because it had the search term.
I would love to see a free or paid alternative that works.
