The idea has been floating in the air for quite a while and I agree that something like this is really needed. What I'd personally want to see is a network of anon users hand picking interesting pages with a search and a news feed on top of that. I'd hand pick all these users and kick out anyone who clutters my feed with junk pages. Vouching for pages should be as easy as clicking the FB like button (which is blocked by my uBO), ideally without JS. Later, when this thing earns some trust, I'd install a browser extension. It should be easy to change the anon userids while optionally retaining the network I've been subscribed too. Saving the network can be as simple as copying userids in my list, maybe with some annotations. It should be easy to share my id and discover others, e.g. I came across an interesting page on Wikipedia, saw that mr4123 liked it and added that id to my list. I may want to have multiple userids with different type of pages that I wouldn't want to mix together. I'd pay $5/mo for that, maybe more if I notice the network brings interesting stuff I wouldn't find myself. From a higher level, such service has sound economic value: instead of hundred people spending an hour to find something, the service lets everyone except one to save that one hour. That's why people come to HN, after all.
