Comments on: Why Mag.nolia and Reddit are going distribuited? http://gheller.wordpress.com/2008/08/27/why-magnolia-and-reddit-are-going-distribuited/ An effort to get my ideas straight on what the web is about Sun, 07 Jun 2009 23:03:37 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: jonathangheller http://gheller.wordpress.com/2008/08/27/why-magnolia-and-reddit-are-going-distribuited/#comment-99 jonathangheller Sun, 04 Jan 2009 16:12:01 +0000 http://gheller.wordpress.com/?p=53#comment-99 I agree. But wouldn't it be cool if Delicious - content curated, relevant information - could offer an alternative to the algorithm relevant info from search engines like google? of course, you wouldn't want it to turn into what you call a "barometer of cool". Perhaps creating groups where you could "walled" content might do the trick: the info would be accessible the the wider Delicious audience (aggregated to the larger data stream) buy posting url's to the group would be restricted....who knows... Anyway, thanks for commenting michu :) I agree.

Because more than social bookmarking, it achieves cultural aggregation and useful inter-linking, rather than being a user-generated version of meta-filter. Digg is more a barometer of cool. I've found that delicious is actually useful, and will probably survive on its core group of academics et al. My point is: if widely adopted, it would probably transform into another digg. The success of the site depends on the user, but is success a matter of hits... or a matter of proper use of the technology?
