Polymeme helps you navigate the new networked public sphere and keep your fingers on the intellectual pulse of the blogosphere

What Company Is Offering:

Polymeme helps you navigate the new networked public sphere and keep your fingers on the intellectual pulse of the blogosphere.

Polymeme helps you discover intelligent content that lies beyond the usual echo chambers of tech news, celebrity gossip or American politics.



How It Works:

Their site uses a unique buzz-tracking approach to identify what's currently hot in 20 areas, ranging from economics to evolution, and present it to the reader along with all sources that are currently talking about it. Thus, you can track how ideas – or memes – propagate through this new emerging networked public sphere. They would consider our mission a success if they expose you to the maximum number of new ideas on every 100 news items you read!



One of their objective is to push you to discover news from areas that you may not otherwise discover, be that books & poetry or architecture & design. They try to achieve that by combining automated buzz-tracking with some light human editorial control, where it's up to their editors to choose which stories should go to the front page and which stories should appear on sectional/sub-sectional pages of Polymeme.



Those of you who would only like to track a few of their 20 areas could also customize Polymeme to meet their specific needs by going to MyPolymeme, registering, and choosing the topics you would like to follow. A unique RSS feed would be then generated based on your preferences.
