At the moment the site mostly just monitors HN and reddit for new (tech related) posts that are getting a lot of comments in the past 24 hours...but if people find it useful, I may expand to monitor more sources (and offer a daily email digest)

Thank you, I like it.

Are you going to have an archives/history section so we can look back at the popular stories for a particular day?

To move through archives just add the date to the overall url...example for Aug 21st -> http://knowabout.it/08-21-2014

What, no ISO 8601?!

How very US-centric.

If you could somehow identify the posts that have significant flamewars or pun subthreads, I would find this the single most indispensable tool in the history of the internet.

That is a great suggestion...I think I can probably do at least some basic parsing to determine how many different people are commenting (vs. total comment count)...and I can probably do some basic keyword filtering counts too (checking for common flame/spam words and scoring on that)...worth playing with for sure! Thanks!
