Visualizing TechCrunch, GigaOm, and Mashable
There is no lack of content online that I’m particularly interested in. The issue is not finding the content, but rather it is consuming the content in a reasonable amount of time while I try to balance family life and all of the other joys in my life.
This morning I ran an experiment: use Wordle to visualize TechCrunch, GigaOm, and Mashable by their RSS/Atom feed. This is part of a larger experiment that I’m pursuing but that story is for a later date. What I find particularly interesting is that you can quickly see the distinctions between their reporting; as an example, GigaOm focusing more on tech (VMWare, infrastructure) where Mashable covers lots of consumer web (Dorthy launch, Wordpress).
