Regator takes a bite out of the blogoshpere
There are certainly plenty of blog directories and Digg type websites that tell you what the most popular or "best" news of the day is. Regator wants to join the fray.
Regator is a combination of a lot of different methods of news aggregation. Actual people do a lot of the work, reading through and finding blog posts they think are interesting to read. Those posts are sorted into almost 500 channels. Users can also submit items of interest and move things up the food chain by viewing, commenting and rating sites. The What's Hot list is then created with algorithms based on what users are looking at.
I found some really interesting stuff I hadn't seen so far in my daily web surfing by going into the Beijing Olympics Channel.
You can also use Regator as a feed reader, to make audio playlists and to share with friends on Facebook, etc. by registering for a free account.
If you don't already have a favorite place to find news or you're looking for a change, this might be something to check out. And, if your blog isn't on Regator, you can nominate it for coverage.

So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.
Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game.
The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...

nice work on regator Scott. here's something i'm looking for. a link to top stories by day. this is something digg lacks. sure I can click on the top 24 hours link in digg but suppose I'm away from the interent for a week and I want to check what were the top stories on a particular day in the past. also a most commented by day feature would be nice. maybe there is already a site that aggregates digg stories and top commented slashdot stories by day but I haven't come across any yet.
