Reddit attempted this but gave up. From what I can remember, the personalized stories were not noticeably better than random. For instance, here on news.yc, I posted in a Iphone thread today, but I don't actually want Iphone news highlighted. I posted in a Steve Jobs thread, but I certainly did not enjoy the cacophony of stories that flooded the main page following his death.
