I've been thinking about putting a spin on social news and I decided to put up a prototype to test my idea.
The idea is simply this: To use full sentences as a subreddit name.
So instead of subscribing to subreddits:
worldnews
technology
You would 'subscribe' to:
I am interested in world news.
I am interested in technology news.
You can subscribe to other 'full sentence' subreddits like:
I am interested in world news.
I am interested in technology news.
I love Star Trek.
I need a student loan.
I enjoy rock climbing.
I am worried about the global economy.
Thus, submitting a link would look like:
Title: Greek tremors continue to rock markets - CNN.com
Target this link to people with this profile:
-- I am interested in world news.
-- I am interested in technology news.
-- I am worried about the global economy.
The difference may look minor, but I think it provides an interesting twist on submitting links.
For example, here's another possible submission:
Title: Star Trek club is more than ‘stereotypical nerds’
URL: http://www.cw.ua.edu/2010/04/22/star-trek-club-is-more...
Target this link to people with this profile:
-- I love Star Trek.
-- I enjoy rock climbing.
