Lately, I've been spending more time at Reddit, which is a site where people post links to articles they find on the Web. But each article post also has a comment section.
The cool thing about sites like Reddit is that you can vote articles and comments up or down, so you can filter out stuff you don't want. Also, the discussion is highly targeted, since it revolves around an article. I think the discussion there is superior to that on most forums. I wonder if forums could operate in a similar manner (up/down-voting to filter content, etc.)? |
