I'm showing my personal bias, of course. I just launched a business/economic social news site called http://newsley.com http://newsley.com.
But, far from being parasites, social news sites expose readers to a much greater cross section of news than a local newspaper ever could. And, a well moderated social news site like Hacker News or a heavily filtered reddit is much more useful than an editor could ever be. There's still a whole lot of room for news aggregation/content crap filtration online. Social News is just getting started.
But then, I'm probably preaching to the choir here on HN. :)
- bonecandy 17y agoOn newsley, I don't think making the description a link is a good idea. Digg does this too and I find it very annoying as I'll accidentally click it sometimes (for example, if I want to copy and paste it). I'd also suggest making the description text a lighter color so the titles stand out a bit more.
- iamelgringo 17y agoThanks for the feedback. I'm working on making some design changes to the site. Changing the color of the description text is a good idea. And, thanks for the input on changing the description text to make it unclickable. I'll have to think that one through a bit.
