Finally - Ninh Nguyen from Alert Thingy

Am I the only one who thinks this 'Recommendation Engine' interferes in the wisdom of the crowds by "telling you" which things/news/articles suppose to like instead of digging just because you want to? -- Also, I think this is similar to the fact that people digg on the most popular stories just because they are popular, not for their content. -- And I believe this is a 'threat' social media has to avoid sooner or later. - Alex Barredo

Alex, I guess there is that possibility... But under the old system, the "Upcoming" stream was largely unusable due to the volume of new submissions. Perhaps a few users will weed through all the latest submissions, but I think the vast majority want to have some kind of social proof that it's worthwhile content first. This new system seems a pretty effective way of giving them that. - Eric Daams

Hmmmm interesting............ could be very beneficial. - ChaCha Fance from Alert Thingy
