I'm one of the more recent users of HN and after I started liking the content I saw here I thought of this too. I would really like to use an HN/Reddit like application restricted to different networks of people that I know to share news/content that they would enjoy or benefit from. But then I thought perhaps that's only because I don't use facebook much and my friends/colleagues don't use twitter much. Most of my friends/colleagues have started sharing a lot of news content on their facebook recently. So I guess some people (at least here in Mumbai) are sharing what they see on HN/Reddit/other with others via Facebook. As for me, I often share articles that I like with others via email or text depending on the person I'm sending it too. My dad uses email for doing this too (maybe because he doesn't use facebook at all). I guess there may be a missing communication channel for people who don't use facebook much. Tweets seem to get lost in the crowd of thousands of other tweets people see on their twitter stream. I would use an HN/Reddit restricted to networks of people I know. But they would have to be really active in order to make it as good.
