I'm not into Twitter at all too much, yet, but it seems like nowadays any link you post is fair game. URLs in and of themselves have nearly as much value as the content within them, which is what makes social media sites so valuable. It's now the nature of the web for URLs to get passed around. It doesn't seem to matter much from where the URL first got popular.. Digg/Reddit/HN/4chan/etc.. if it's good content, the link has value, and is arbitraged across all of the networks.
Anybody can repost links found on any of these networks, and claim they found them themselves. I've long theorized about how since there's values in URLs, one could profit from being able to detect when a URL is "underrated," that is, poised to become extremely popular, and share the link. Basically, a "what's about to be really hot across all social media sites" URL generator. If I link to it from Twitter before it becomes popular, I'm doing my followers a service.
My question for you: what does "highest-point" submission mean? How are points measured? Where can you view them?

In theory, submissions are more "recession-proof" than comments because they cannot be downvoted. http://searchyc.com/user/sam_in_nyc?only=submissions&sort=by_points http://searchyc.com/user/sam_in_nyc?only=submissions&sor...
