I’m still scratching my head at Mark Cuban’s<\/a> comments about news aggregators being freeloading vampires<\/a> that should be blocked by news sites.<\/p>\n

As Danny Sullivan points out<\/a>, Cuban is an investor in Mahalo, which is an aggregator extraordinaire.<\/p>\n

\"\"And in 2008 at the TechCrunch50 conference, Cuban said he’s like to be an investor in news aggregator TechMeme<\/a>. He says: “Gabe from TechMeme, I’ve been running after him for two years to try to let me do something with him because I think its a brilliant idea and I think I can add value…I try to stick to things that are strategic to me that I think are fun that I think are game changing.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Cuban was mostly railing on Google News in his talk, but TechMeme has a similar model of linking to stories with a short excerpt. You can watch the entire interview here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I’ve emailed Mark to get see if he wants to talk more about this, because I continue to be more than confused.<\/p>\n
