I'm curious where the data get fetched from. The Author mentions that Mozilla Readability and SimplePie are used.
Readability to parse the content. SimplePie to fetch the data (I assume). Dat from RSS feeds?
In case you want to make something similar, I recently wrote a blog on where you could get news data for free [1]
(self-promo) I'd recommend to take a look at my Python package to mine news data from Google News [2]. Also, in 3 days we're releasing an absolutely free News API [3] that will support ~50-100k top stories per day.
