All,
if you do not know what Digg is, it’s a site where people submit links
to web pages (often news articles) and others vote these links up or
down. Visiting Digg will let you view links sorted and filtered using
criteria of your preference.
There is an open source implementation of the Digg idea called Pligg.
A few years ago, I proposed that I set up a "Pligg" that caters to our
interests. All of you can post links to news and blogs you think would
be of interest and the rest can vote on them. Crowd-sourcing and all
that rot ;-).
At the time of my proposal, there were few takers, but now that even
our host is a blogger, and tech comfort and interest might have
increased, it's time to reissue my call for interest. Would you find
such a service useful? A means to both get to know news and analysis
and to filter it using the collective wisdom of your comrades.

For the project to be useful, we need a small set that is committed to
adding links (though I can hopefully auto-create links to known blogs
like Doug's, M.Perelman's, etc), and a larger group that will not
infrequently vote on subsets of links.
