Amazing website and gorgeous concept! Bad timing with Facebook being down but I'll check as soon as Facebook's back up.
edit: Looks like Facebook's back up. One note: I'd edit some of the color choices. Some of the website (like some colors in the top menu) becomes hard to read. What are you thinking of doing with this service?
One major latency issue (I don't know if you can resolve it or not): every single Facebook like button has to load separately; it takes a long time. If you can solve that, I think you have a winner.
Love this idea because at this point, I am much more likely to
"like" something than to "digg" it. However that may just be me, this idea could go big quickly.
This looks like the definitive digg killer. Not that I use any of digg or facebook, however for lolcats and the likes it will certainly dwarf digg instantly.
cool idea! please somehow add categories. i think categories like digg would be nice. if that's not possible, maybe do it by media type or media source.
Hey Henry, big thanks for the input. I actually half-implemented categories before deciding they weren't the right solution. I think there is probably something better than implementing straight digg-like categories, but I haven't quite figured it out. Then again, I could totally be wrong and just end up finishing my implementation.
As far as use cases, I assume you don't want to find LOLcats when you're looking for tech news, right?
