Great Web 2.0 news sites

I have lately run into the future of social networking and news and there are a lot of sites that build upon what was initially the great thing about Slashdot and make it so much better. All of these sites allow you to push up stories based upon users in one way or another adding personal significance to the story. Becaues of the openess of these sites opten you will get strong opinions in the comments, flame wars and occasionally tasteless stories:

Digg - Gives you technology stories that you can "Digg" adding significance to that story.

Blogniscient - Breaks down the most popular blog stories by category and then in the case of some breaks those down further. All of the political stories are tagged either Right or Left

Chuquet - Looks for links in blogs and news that are being linked around a lot to find the most popular angles on news stories

Megite Technology - Another brand new site with stories that you can have customized based on your feed readers OPML file

Reddit - Like Digg allows you to click and up or down arrow to add significance to a story

Shoutwire - A site like Digg almost exactly except it is new, not so many users yet and allow you to filter stories by what you are interested in. This is great as the site is more than just Technology and computers.

Tail Rank - Sorts info from thousands of blogs to give the most popular stories. Technorati kind of tries this on their front page but does it kind of poorly.

Tech.memeorandum - Also sorts top technology stories looking for stories that are most interesting to bloggers about technology. A little bit much of a clubby, look at me, cliquey site but still really good

Gabbr - Brand Brand new and I hope will become popular. This site has all news and top blog links or posts and tags everything

Tech Crunch - Although not really a current news site this site is more a weblog that posts about the popular new companies, prodcuts and sites that have to do with Web 2.0
