Unfortunately - I don't see the differentiator of following and editable descriptions and headlines as being that compelling. Also I don't agree with allowing users to change the original posters content.. usually within the first few comments, people will give feedback, and the poster will correct it. I know digg is building out these twitter like features.. and reddit has an add friends feature, so again. not sure if this is that compelling. But anyways.. keep it up , and good luck.

Reddit has an add friends feature, but doesn't actively customize your feed -- you have to navigate to /r/friends -- or click on the link at the top strip. We have a Facebook/Twitter like "feed". Posters correcting stories on both Reddit and Digg are not possible in most cases. On reddit, changes can be made only on self posts, but the majority of posts on reddit are not self posts currently. Allowing users to change the original poster's content is opt-in -- the original poster opts to let users do it.

  on the news feed : So by default will I be seeing the most popular stories ( which is more compelling case ) or friends submitted stories. I believe that reddit does this for a reason. on the editing: i would do some a/b testing on this , and just put an edit button for users next to the title or description and just see how many times people actually click it.

    Well, it's either the Facebook way or the reddit way, right? They both seem to work fine for either userbase, I am simply betting on the Facebook way. Considering that Facebook gets 1/4 of the web's pageviews, I don't think it's tooo horrible a decision. ;) On the editing - yeah, I would love to do that, but I'm not sure that testing this is worth it with the tiny userbase that I currently have. Is it?
