You are showing the url from other sources. How's it different?

If this question is directed at the author of the site, there is a comment section on the corresponding blog post: http://www.catonmat.net/blog/announcing-techurls/

Three factors I view as appealing, versus navigating to each site separately, include 1) the aggregation itself has value (e.g., to save time), 2) the primarily textual interface and 3) the search functionality.

I do not understand the distinction between "popular tech websites" and "the most popular tech web sites" - would you please summarize how this filtering is done?

For the title of this HN submission, the text is from the og:description tag in the page's html.

I'm not sure how the popular websites were selected.

Perhaps the author of the site can answer your question in the comments of the corresponding blog post. http://www.catonmat.net/blog/announcing-techurls/
