Great Idea,
Let's see if it flies. Do it.

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.
