> Maybe the folks behind Hacker News want to evolve the site by encouraging more job hiring posts, or maybe they’d like to devote special site features to housing or more security features. That’s the kind of analysis we need to effectively steer our companies: more insight, less black box. I guess that was written in gest, but I do hope some kind of reddit or SO-style siloing isn't on the cards to 'make HN grow'! I rather hope that HN grows in the collaborative filtering direction instead. Instead of most interesting topics never making it high enough up the first page to actually gain any traction, it would be nice if collaborative filtering was used to make it so people can easily get more of what they like and easily find something completely different. Of course I've blogged and petitioned for this kind of approach in the past ;) http://williamedwardscoder.tumblr.com/post/15581427232/self-organizing-reddit http://williamedwardscoder.tumblr.com/post/15581427232/self-... Then HN can stay the HN we all like, as many of us like slightly different things, and collaborative filtering can evolve with each of us letting us find like-minded others to share our filter-bubble with :)
