Is HN Ignoring The Long Tail?
dmharrison: Yep, but this is true for RSS and most news sites generally as well IMHO.  You see it, read it and then unless someone reposts it, it's gone forever.  I use delicious to tag that I've liked it and then can search, but it doesn't search content etc.But the primary reason I use the feed is that it's filtered high quality new material that I'm genuinely not likely to have seen before.
