Unfortunately it's not that easy...
Although it's possible to script adult sites as all you have to do is have a pile of porn pics and links and assemble them differently each day - it's not easy when you are trying to represent the very best in an area of the web your surfers probably know more than you about
Every news item is hand selected for being newsworthy out of the 100s of news stories and press releases each week. Then sites have to be reviewed and a screen grab made of the relevant parts.
In the case of something like this, trying to script it would completely kill it. There would be boring press releases making it because of keyword richness - general screen grabs rather than grabs of the right places - awful mashups would be chosen instead of good ones and so on.
There's nothing like crafting a website and seeing the visitor numbers grow because of it. Hard work, but rewarding.
