Techmeme's top 10 neighbors span tech-focused websites, news publishers, magazines, and tech personalities — a dense, evenly matched cluster with no single dominant pull and scores compressed between 0.99 and 0.98.

The shape is flat: VentureBeat leads at 0.99, followed by AngelList (0.99) and Recode (0.99), but the gap to tenth place — Business Insider Tech at 0.98 — is negligible. The neighbor set divides roughly into two kinds: marketing channel properties (websites, news publishers, and magazines) and individual tech personalities. On the channel side, WSJ Tech (0.98) and TechCrunch (0.98) represent tech-vertical news publishing; Pando (0.98) sits alongside them as a website. On the personality side, Marissa Mayer (0.99) is classified as a Professional, while Eric Schmidt (0.98) and Jack Dorsey (0.98) are both Tech Personalities — making the top 10 a mix of three subcategories from Celebrities and Influencers alongside four distinct Marketing Channel subcategories. No single subcategory dominates; Websites and Tech Personalities each claim three of the ten slots, with News Publishers and Magazines accounting for two more.

The flat shape indicates that Techmeme's audience is not distinctively shaped by any one neighbor — it sits at the center of a broad, coherent tech-media ecosystem where publications, platforms, and prominent individuals all draw audiences of nearly identical composition.
