Yeah, I can see how full feeds would make the site stickier than partials. One way to offset that would be bold links to the original source, and more importantly to the FEED for the original source.

Things no scraper ever does...

Mathew - You are making some fair points here. I was mostly trying to come to grips with where I would draw the line between useful service and scraper, especially in the light of the Shyftr discussion. I am very comfortable with Shyftr, but Meme13 makes me feel a but iffy - maybe it's because of the blog format it comes in. Still trying to quite put my finger on it.

There's another way to make Techmeme a much more effective source of news. Go to Yahoo Pipes and set up a filter for the Techmeme feed to not include any stories containing the following keywords: Techcrunch, Arrington, Calacanis, Scoble, Valleywag, Scobleizer, Crunchgear and Bitchmeme. Sure you'll only have a few articles a day to read, but at least they're worth reading.
