Hmm. Automated tech news aggregator Techmeme is about to become slightly less automated. Venture Beat reports that a veteran tech journo will now[ rearrange and generally improve the results coming out of the aggregation algorithm](http://venturebeat.com/2008/12/03/news-aggregator-techmeme-melds-algorithms-and-humans/?ref=onemanandhisblog.com). Techcrunch argues that the [inclusion of a human undermines the site’s objectivity](http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/12/03/techmeme-gives-up-on-fully-automated-news/?ref=onemanandhisblog.com) (oh, so ironically, given how obsessed we journos can be about our “objectivity”), and that a pure algorithm solution is better.

But I don’t think that’s the significant issue for journalists. This is a high traffic tech news site – run by one editorial person. 

The game: it is a’changing.
