Reddit Was Acquired

Tue, 31 Oct 2006 17:33:40 GMT

Did you heard? Reddit was acquired. Congratulations guys, good job. First rumored number ($65M) is more than del.icio.us was bought for. [Update] Liz Gannes on GigaOM tells that guys from Reddig have worked with acquirer company before on very reddit-similar site. I wonder which terms they are agreed to, and wasn't they afraid of things like competition and disclosing the technology.

Online feed reader inviting beta users

Wed, 19 Jul 2006 12:28:46 GMT

It's about time I should extend beta user invitation for audience here. I'm pretty sure you use feed reader of one kind or another. onelurv has been in development for a couple of months. It's a feed reader that combines bookmarks and passwords in one seamless tool. My vision is to create the most pleasurable start-page tool for everyday web surfers. I'm inviting you guys to participate as beta users; and there's limited places for registration. It handles feeds in a channel/category manner; different from other online aggregators. For bloggers, it allows you to embed feed reader into your blog. User's feeds and bookmarks are also shared with community of other users. Truth is, it started out as a tool that I needed for myself. Feeds and passwords were getting overwhelming; and there was no tool that manage like it should for me. It turns out to be a pretty fun 'first-page-in-the-morning'. I hope you can help make it better. There's a demo account so you can have a look at how it works. Appreciate your support and feedback :) Check it out at http://onelurv.com/ - 1 reply

How we can have a better forum - part I: what everybody can see

Wed, 12 Apr 2006 15:42:07 GMT

What can we do to have a better forum? Determine what we can do better, and build it! This is what I'm doing here. Let's take a look at today's forums, identify their problems, and see how we can do a better job. First thing I see which can be improved is forum message categorization. Today's forums have done some effort to let users categorize messages. Which steps are? Today's forums have subforums. Or subgroups. Forum has some superuser, or administrator, which has said that this forum will have this set of subforums. So the user coming to post question sees a list of forums/subforums, or big list of groups/subgroups/subsubgroups. The user decides which category to post the question to. And finally she or he posts. Several problems can be seen here. It can be hard for administrator to define good set of subforums. And it can be hard for the user to determine which subforum to post to. As a result, the visitor may start performing some unwelcomed behavior. She or he starts posting under subforum which administrator think about as inappropriate. Or the visitor copies post into several subforums which everyone think about as inappropriate. But who said the visitor is wrong? What the forum is for? Is the forum for forum admins, or for its visitors? My goal is to develop a self-organizing forum which in ideal will have no need for admins. First step is to give power to define message categories to the visitor. The visitor is always right. So wish me luck, or better give me your feedback and recommendations. Denis Krukovsky. - 3 replies
