Incidentally, one of the data sets that we have from a friend of ours that we're playing with internally is a collection of links from the entire German blogosphere. From there we can do queries to see which blogs are similar to others, so if you had a starting point of blogs that you liked, it can suggest others. Completely unrelated, a while back we did start putting together a planet for some of the folks from HN. It didn't really take off, but there's still some good reading there: http://planetstartup.directededge.com/ http://planetstartup.directededge.com/
