Hi Bones, you're right, we're the same as a lot of services, we looked at the way Digg, Reddit, Stumble Upon, Delicious, Facebook Links, Tumblr, etc., work and we decided to focus on an area none of them focus on.

I like sharing links, I post funny videos on my Facebook account all the time. I like the way its quick and easy. But sometimes I don't get comments because my friend circle is small. I don't mind if its public. I read reddit everyday, I love their sense of community. But I don't post on Reddit because I would never get upvoted enough to make it matter. Yet still, I have a desire to share content in a public way thats is quick and easy.

We call them "link blogs", kinda like Facebook Links + Twitter. We could then link posts by different people (to the same source) to a unified discussion page, like the way Reddit comment pages work. So I post an Obama article, you post the exact same article, but our followers get to discuss it in the same comment page.

Just a little taste of what we're thinking about. Thanks!

If I read this right it sounds intriguing. One of the problems with Reddit for example is tons of people compete for the exact same link with clever(read:usually horrifically melodramatic overstatements of truth) titles and only the one guy makes it to the front page.

So you are saying that exact same links will be somehow connected - like on the Obama article - everyone will see whoever also linked the same thing?

Yep, the technicals would have to be hammered out, but imagine the comments page that also shows, "People who also posted this", and lists the users. Also the ability to 1 click repost to your account to repost it on your blog.

Good idea.
