I really like the way
reddit works. It is good to get a news feed with recommenation based on my ratings. This works great for news about tech and all the geeky stuff that comes with it but for more normal interests like wine, italian food, travel and scifi, to name a few of mine, it doesn't work at all. The reddit users are too different and not plenty enough for it to work properly. If reddit became mainstream (and improved the recommendation code) it might actually work. Problem is that nongeeks have no great interest in (pro|de)moting web pages. It is a true marketing challenge to turn nontech users into reddit users. Im afraid that the same is true for
del.icio.us. The good news here is that del.icio.us works better with marginal interests. The only thing needed for me to find other sites about cyberpunk is that a few other users have the same idea about that the word cyberpunk means. Sooner or later we will see a new concept that joins the reddit and delicious ways of doing it. One big tag promotion mashup. (And no - I don't think it is
digg.)
