Robert Scoble swears off tech.memeorandum for a week, due to excessive snark in the Sunday edition:

"...it’s the little things in life that make you smarter. The little things don’t show up on Memeorandum. They do show up on RSS. Which is why I’m still subscribed to 847 smart people’s feeds."

I don’t think the problem is Memeorandum or news trackers per se, but then maybe Gabe could tweak the algorithm to weed out the flame wars and other stuff that isn't "tech". It’s not news, after all…
