It's Yahoo News that gets 36 million users per month NOT BuzzTracker! From the traffic estimates I've seen, BuzzTracker gets only 10,000 to 35,000 users per month. Also, if I'm not mistaken, TechMeme was originally called Memeorandum. The two sites are run by the same person, so calling them "affiliated aggregators" is not entirely accurate.
