Gabe Rivera: Since the Techmeme Leaderboard reflects the reality that both blog-driven sites and traditional sites define today’s news, use it to discover new sources, recommend sites to others, or illustrate where tech news breaks. I hope you find it useful, and if you have a stake in tech reporting, not too infuriating.

This looks more current and better maintained than my previous test bed, so I’m now using it for my Venus test site.  I gather that the master Techmeme list of sources is hand picked by Gabe to represent a given slice of the tech world, and the leaderboard produced represents a snapshot of what those sources tend to be following.  And a mememe list produced across those feeds as sources would therefore be a list of sources to those sources.  It appears to be a rather tangled hierarchy of sources, to say the least.
