Has anyone thought of using the Digg.com model for creating a directory? Well maybe not a directory exactly, but something like it. Maybe it would be more analogous to Apples editorialized listings of featured podcasts except the community would be the editors. The ones that get the most votes move up to the front page-- like news stories do on Digg.com. It might work best for individual vlog posts than with entire vlogs. I dunno. It's an idea. I was just thinking about how cool that model is for news and if it would work for other types of content. I would like to see a Digg for other types of news too, like politics or medicine.
I dunno, I'm just thinking out loud.
