UAEMeme is a coverage-ranked news page for the UAE, in the style of Techmeme: the stories most outlets are reporting right now, grouped so you see each one once, with every other outlet covering it listed underneath.
UAEMeme is built and run by Shehab Hamad, based in Dubai. It is a personal project, not a media company, and carries no advertising.
UAEMemedoes not write news. A pipeline reads the public feeds of the outlets listed on the front page, groups articles that cover the same event into one story, and ranks stories by how many independent outlets are covering them, how authoritative those outlets are, and how recent the coverage is. Every headline links to the publisher’s own page, and the “Also covering” list shows who else reported it.
An automated relevance check keeps the feed to news about the UAE and the companies, people and policies that shape it. Headlines in Arabicare machine-translated into English and marked “translated”; the original is always one click away. The △▽ controls on each story record whether readers want more or less of it, and feed back into ranking.
There is no public inbox for UAEMeme yet. If a headline is wrong, it is wrong at the source and will update when the outlet corrects it; if a story is mis-grouped or mis-credited, that is ours to fix.
