As of Tuesday at midnight, here's what you see at http://upvoted.com: http://i.imgur.com/KsnPvXN.png

Could it end up being built on WordPress?

Sure. Something to monitor reddit for highly upvoted and interesting content. Once it hits a certain threshold, add the post to WP. Generate the cache entry and you're pretty well set.

Well, I was commenting in particular on the fact that the site is currently a private WordPress server. The plan appears to be a bit more involved than aggregation, comprising interviews with Reddit OPs and curated articles written by Reddit staff themselves (although they’re probably hiring mostly new people to work on that).

This sounds like まとめサイト, "curation site" for 2ch.net .

Take interesting threads from the main site and edit comments to make it more palatable for the wider audience.

It generates quite a revenue from affiliate contracts, I hear.

I don't know if it still is, but most of Yahoo's magazine content is run on Wordpress.

There is nothing weird about building news sites on Wordpress.

IMHO that looks really awful.
