Both Robert Scoble and Rex Hammock have interesting and related thoughts up about aggregation services like Google News and Techmeme.
Scoble points out deficiencies in the latter and his preference for the former. Yet, Google News isn't perfect either. Rex notes that two competing news services can have very different perspectives on the same issue - government productivity statistics.
This morning when I pulled up Google News I saw this contrast first hand in the wild. Note the images below. Is the iPhone going to be a success or a failure? Google News aggregates both perspectives. So will Techmeme. What we need next are aggregation services that can break out these perspectives (when there are hard lines). People-powered services like digg may be our only solution here.
