I immediately though of HN-style sites too. What we need is some sort of gumbo made from spanning all of these specialized , human-curated sites, stripping out the Alexa top 100, 1000, top-whatever sites and then re-ordering the results by some new measure that encapsulates "neatness", "quirky" or "weirdness", or what ever we can call it.

This sounds really hard, and for me I don't know where I'd start, but I also didn't create google or pagerank which at it's dawn also seemed like magic, so I have faith this could be done.

It's the sort of mission to which I could dedicate my life, until I too was corrupted by the success and lure of endless wealth, at which point today-me sincerely hopes some other smart oblivious kids would come along and displace me.

So I too hope to see something better in my lifetime.
