Ah. I come here mostly for the discussion. It's honestly quite rare that the actual link is that interesting to me. In fact, the commentary here is probably the only thing that really differentiates it from Reddit/Digg.
But if he wants content personalized, Stumbleupon might be a good avenue.
- mark_h 18y agoI come here mostly for the discussion. It's honestly quite rare that the actual link is that interesting to me. I've been finding exactly the same thing, actually. Usually when I upvote it's because the discussion is interesting, rather than the article. I don't really have a problem with that though; reddit et al can provide links in topics of immediate interest, but the community still differentiates HN IMO.
- JesseAldridge 18y agoActually, since you mention Stumbleupon... They have a feature where you can do friends-only stumbling, where a "friend" is someone you have subscribed too. Maybe a bunch of us could make accounts specifically for hacker related stuff, and then subscribe to one another. Edit: I just created http://jessealdridge.stumbleupon.com/ http://jessealdridge.stumbleupon.com/ if anyone is interested in doing this.
