Re: Delicious 2.0: Who bookmarks any more?

mikecs83 — Fri, 01 Aug 2008 04:27:07 -0000

I've always had problems with Delicious' design and it kept me from avidly using the service and so far the redesign has fixed a lot of things that kept me away from it. Alphabetical sorting, getting rid of the annoying orange popularity rank, and easier navigation. Any redesign is going to annoy current users (Facebook, I'm looking at you) but hopefully this design can bring some new people (like me) into the bookmarking fold.

I'm disappointed. One ignorant person who doesn't want free publicity is hurting a valuable service. Just like search, people can easily control how others see their feeds. Their lack of knowledge shouldn't be your fault. I hope full feeds can return, I always prefer them.

I've been looking for more niche aggregators, like Techmeme and memeorandum. Soon, though, we're going to need aggregators for the aggregators - there's just too many of them, it's becoming overwhelming to submit, vote, track, comment, and read everything on all of them.

Re: louisgray.com: Blogging 2.0 Causing Friction With 1.0 Bloggers

I really agree with letting users rule for the added reason that it doesn't matter how people read your blog or content, as long as they're reading it. Yes it's frustrating to not be able to easily track all the comments about your posts in once place, but the more people talk about you and your content, the more influence and value you have. This is the value free bloggers really want.

Re: Are social news sites like Digg useful anymore?

mikecs83 — Tue, 13 May 2008 17:34:36 -0000

I'm not I'm familiar with your alternative. I've always viewed Digg, Reddit, and these bookmarking sites as best-of-what-you-won't easily find, thus making weird news or cool features the bread and butter of the site. Big news articles always fit in, of course, but I never viewed Digg's value in news articles since, eventually, big enough stories rise to the top. Techmeme however is a much more newsy resources and arguably one of the best places to find immediate news. Both remain useful for different reasons and obviously still have tweaking to do to be even more efficient (Digg repeats stories way too much).

Re: MySpace: We still control your data

Just like Verizon's open network, I wonder if this is a lot of hype. I mean, we have Open Social waiting in the sidelines to take over. Anyway, does anyone even use MySpace anymore anyway, aside from all those spammers?
