Hacker News' "favorites" is now my bookmarking service :-) It's like a poor man's Del.icio.us. (It doesn't checkmark majority of the OP's boxes). But if your interests align with mine fp, ML, lisp then you

I actually implemented something like this for my ownself. I have a suggestion that you may want to try out as an experiment. Somehow give the user the ability to choose when to receive the next update (and maybe even how much). So for exa
