That's also a good site. Although, he covers few whitepapers and no news. Also, his blog links aren't curated very aggressively. There is overlap, though. Perhaps over time the comments on Quant News will become part of the appeal. I just got the forum put in last night.

Edit: Thinking about your question...

I think Wilmott and Nuclear Phynance have great communities, but they would be better with a news stream to stimulate the discussion. Things move slowly until an interesting topic comes up. Then a good conversation begins. I also think people want to talk about trade ideas, but they are afraid of giving away proprietary information. So, the academic literature could jumpstart the conversation by providing detailed experiments to discuss.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll find a better color scheme.

The site is curated. I have a script monitoring many sources. Most of what I collect is trash, so I only keep the best each day. When I discover a new blog, I sometimes include links to a few previous posts.

I don't think the community is big enough to ever sustain a HN clone. One was tried a few years ago (quant.ly), but got shut down.

I think probably not, but thank you for asking. This is something I'm just doing for fun. If you are a blogger with relevant posts, please submit them in the form at the bottom. Then you can get links for free.

Thank you! I hope they find it useful.

The site is a hobby for me, so there won't be any ads. And you can see that I'm not much of a web developer. Still, I take the content seriously. I read a massive amount of news, and I post links to the most interesting stories and whitepapers. Sometimes you'll see a cluster of links from the same site -- that happens when I find a new RSS feed and backfill some good stuff.

Any suggestions are appreciated.
