I was kinda excited about it, having used it for a while before moving on to reddit like a lot of others, but after getting my invite and trying it out for a while it just seemed like a lot of auto posted tech articles and not much discussion. I realize the thing that changed most was perhaps my relationship and views on technology, I'm not excited about where any of it is going to be honest, where as when the first digg came around I was very optimistic that the web was going to turn the world into a utopia lmao.

The problem was that they launched with barely any mod or curation tools, and haven't really added anything since. Rimu, just one guy, should not be having a better development cycle than something like Digg after launch - especially when most of the things they need to add are pretty basic.

Yeah, I suppose we shouldn't be too shocked though, Kevin Rose has been around SV long enough, I'm sure he could muster up a bit more, the site doesn't even seem to have a vision really. I suspect it will just be datamined or used as some experiment/testing ground.

Yeah I like the whole thing I've been on there for a couple months and it just is repetition after repetition not very many posts it's worse than here.
