my early feedback -- this seems like a natural candidate for using Facebook authentication. you could post to the user's Wall "I just read X" and there'd be a natural viral factor. driving traffic... most startups have that problem. HN, reddit, digg, email relevant bloggers, tell your friends (that's without spending anything). making money -- seems like ads would be the way to go. if this took off, i can also see "sponsored content" mixed into the recommendations, ala "promoted tweets". good luck! |

I thought about FB integration, but decided against as I wanted to have a transparent privacy model. In my opinion the privacy becomes somewhat opaque when FB gets involved. I'll give it a second thought though. The natural viral factor is appealing.
Ads are somewhat obvious. If I placed them on the comment page related to each link it might be possible to make them somewhat targetted. I hadn't thought about sponsored content, thanks. It probably ain't relevant yet though, I guess the site needs a certain size before it comes to that.
