Although there are lots of sources of technology product news, there isn't one that brings them all together. Or at least, there hasn't been. Now there's Tech NewsJunk. This pulls together news streams from Gizmodo and Engadget, ReadWriteWeb, TechCrunch and a few others into a fast-loading text stream, skipping the round-cornered prettification that would be obligatory for a Silicon Valley Web 2.0 site. And if you're in catch-up mode, the calendar provides access to news from earlier dates.
That's about it, except for the Counts link at the top. This takes you to a list of the 18 most popular stories by the number of outgoing clicks. At the time of writing, Lifehacker's Five Best Windows Maintenence Tools has the most hits (71 clicks) in about 5 hours. (It's CCleaner. Who knew?) Anyway, that explains the # numbers on the main page....
If you don't want to visit the site, you can subscribe to its RSS feed, or friend it on FriendFeed, or friend John Newsjunk on Facebook.
Tech NewsJunk is a subsite of http://newsjunk.com/, which has been providing the same sort of thing for "political news junkies" since about May 25.
Ultimately NewsJunk is another "river of news". And as I mentioned in a column in 2006, Winer says that, as a pioneer of RSS, he's been doing "river of news" aggregators since 1999.
