CobWEBs Daily Edition: Algorithms are for woozies, real news has a human touch

Written by Sean P Aune  |  under Podcasting

Welcome to another week of the daily edition of CobWEBs, the flagship podcast of The Cynical Bastards!

For those who don’t remember from the other episodes, this is a new format for the show as we are going to try giving you daily bite sized chunks of our patented brand of cynicism over everything in the tech universe. The show will have a rotating host schedule between Steven Hodson, Mark ‘Rizzn’ Hopkins and myself. You’ll always get two of us, you just never know which two!

Steven and I take a look at the change over happening in aggregators from using algorithms to more of a curator situation that uses human editors.  It’s a potentially fascinating change, but one that isn’t getting much attention.  (links courtesy of Steven)
