I'd be interested in seeing something build upon facebook. That way all your most trusted friends are there.

  The problem with facebook, and/or linked in is that new ideas and friends are what makes a community great. When I use facebook, I only really add people I know in real life, since I value privacy. When I use reddit, I want to learn about new things and different ideas. I just want a certain level of discourse, that's all. Find a way to guarantee an intelligent, targeted conversation while at the same time allowing me to expand my sphere and you have a winner. Reddit tried this using it's "recommended" page, but I think they have failed, primarily because they don't place enough value in comments, IMO.

    Right... it's not about simply isolating yourself with your real life friends on line. There's no gain there. The trick would be to do something like this: The site figures out what you like and adds you to some sort of group with other like minded people. The members of this group don't change too often, and you principally interact with them, although perhaps you see things of interest to everyone on the site. Shrug... if I had a clear vision of the answer, I'd try and build it:-)

      Ah, yes, the old 'circle wanking' effect. Everyone vehemently agreeing with each other. I'll be addressing exactly that problem with delicious' inbox in part 2. I think I do have a solution of sorts, and I'd even go and build it, but kinda busy with http://tipit.to/ http://tipit.to/ still :-P I'll post part 2 later today!
