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.

Our 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. We would consider our mission a success if we expose you to the maximum number of new ideas on every 100 news items you read!

One of our objective is to push you to discover news from areas that you may not otherwise discover, be that books & poetry or architecture & design. We try to achieve that by combining automated buzz-tracking with some light human editorial control, where it's up to our 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 our 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.

Another of our experimental features is Polybuzz, used to discover what are most talked about topics/people/places in each of our 20 areas — and across all of Polymeme. This should help you better understand the "buzz" in each section.

Polymeme.com is the brainchild of Evgeny Morozov; Dan Braghis and Gleb Kannunikau are the two great tech minds behind the service.
