> Unless I'm reading this blog post horribly wrong, when you click on "Recommend" you don't direct this recommendation towards anyone at all. It's simply "I mark this with my stamp of approval, which in turn will help surface this good content to other users of this website". There is not a social angle to this at all, nor any sort of directed sharing. You're not wrong - that's exactly how it works! I must apologise for the post being quite unclear; it has been quite a while since I wrote anything :) Discoverability is very much one of the core concerns for me, as I feel it's lacking elsewhere. I like the idea of rewarding people that others agree with, as that could help encourage users to recommend more often whilst also making exploitation of the system more tricky. This is still very much in its early stages and I'm keen to improve on it. Thanks for the great feedback!
