The author, Mr. Warzel who interviewed Gabe called his story \u201cMeet the Man who Shapes Tech\u2019s Narrative\u201d (look at the article link, perma-links don\u2019t lie) which is accurate in a way. It\u2019s a bit of a stretch. Gabe doesn\u2019t work alone and his site is mostly powered by a well done algorithm but sure, okay fine :) Some jackass at Buzzfeed decided to instead call the post, \u201cMeet The Man Whose Site Mark Zuckerberg Reads Every Day\u201d That\u2019s way more sticky for clicks on social networks. Sigh.<\/p>\n<p>Where did BuzzFeed\u2019s editors get the idea that Mark reads the site every day? This quote from the story:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u00a0Mark Zuckerberg and Sundar Pichai are both confessed readers, as are LinkedIn\u2019s Jeff Weiner, former PayPal exec and current Facebook Messenger head David Marcus, former Twitter CEO Dick Costolo, and Microsoft\u2019s Satya Nadella.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Mark\u2019s name is a hyperlink and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/mark-zuckerberg-likes-2012-5#we-were-unaware-zuck-shared-our-techmeme-obsession-its-the-only-publications-he-likes-besides-the-new-york-times-nice-work-gabe-rivera-3\">links here<\/a>\u00a0to another cesspool, Business Insider which is a stupid slide show luckily viewable as <a href=\"http:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/mark-zuckerberg-likes-2012-5?op=1\/#ck-seems-to-be-a-glee-fan-at-least-hes-a-big-fan-of-its-stars-dianna-agron-and-lea-michele-whom-hes-subscribed-to-on-facebook-2\">one page if you can find the link<\/a>. From that listicle, &#8220;We were unaware Zuck shared our Techmeme obsession. It&#8217;s the only publications he &#8216;likes&#8217; besides the New York Times. Nice work, Gabe Rivera.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That statement on Business Insider has no attribution so the paper-trail ends right there. For all I know, it\u2019s made up bullshit but thanks to Buzzfeed, this hearsay is now fact to most people who don\u2019t care to dig deeper.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014-<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s a Hell of a digression by yours truly but I actually linked to this interview because it was a great interview but once I realized this was a Buzzfeed article (unknown to me as I read everything within Instapaper and save things that recommended for me by people I trust).<\/p>\n<p>Either way, this is a great article about a human aggregation service of the news that matters to us. I Love TechMeme and stop in once a month just to get a feel for what\u2019s happening in technology.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"via Buzzfeed: (ugh, I hate linking to this shit-hole of a website) Why is that Adam?
