We all know and love HN, but I was wondering: what other article aggregation sites are out there? A place that provided user-ranking and comments.

The three that obviously come to mind are Reddit, Digg, and DZone. Slashdot does aggregation but I don't think they report the upvotes of articles, so they're out.

Any others come to mind?

Techmeme.com ...

Techmeme does not show user votes or comments, does it?

I am specifically referring to sites that allow voting, show the results of the vote, and have a user-feedback-comments section for each article.

So while there area a lot of tech news sites, I am curious to how many participatory user-interactive sites there are.

Yep, you're right about Techmeme, I was paying attention just to the "aggregator" word. Soon, another technology aggregator will be at www.beginstop.com (now it redirects).

http://popurls.com/ - There's a Technology section at the bottom with lots of different tech news sites. Some may fit what you are looking for.

http://alltop.com/ is surprisingly good. Again, not positive if it will fit exactly what you are looking for, but I found http://python.alltop.com/ to be useful.

Those tech news sites from Popurls don't allow user voting (just comments), as far as I know. The same for Alltop.

It's been two days, so I'm not sure if this will be seen by the OP, but I was really trying to make the point that even though popurls/alltop may not have the features you are looking for, you may find that some of the sources that feed these aggregators may have those features. You can use popurls/alltop to find more sites that have the features you're looking for.

Well, if there are only 3 technology sites out there which allow user voting and comments (Reddit, Dzone and Digg) maybe it's time for another one?

This post has been up over two hours and nobody has come up with any alternatives?

Wow
