“10.am aggregates links to the latest technology based content on the web. This includes links to News stories, articles, Usenet announcements, software updates and much more, all from a huge number of continually indexed sources .
Once ‘harvested’ these links are categorized by their subject into a familiar browsable and searchable directory structure. This allows you to quickly get at the up to the minute information you want, track down that elusive article or just find something interesting to read.
Think of 10.am like a fine tuned ‘realtime’ search engine. Rather than randomly trawling the web 10.am knows what to get and where to get it, constantly updating its content.”
