social news idea

While I'm here (sending feedback for the new digg), my wishlist would be for;

Reddit style voting meets Slashdot comment categories, with social bookmark tagging for both users and groups/communities. *

Between upvoting and commenting, there are other types of actions that can be performed on items, like flagging as a favourite.

To add a better social bookmarking management system (better than Reddit search!), if a user could either;

- Click to Digg - (Click to thumbs-down/whatever is optional for communities, or like Hacker News) - Click to Favourite to own bookmark list -- And Tag, like del.icio.us, pinboard.in - Also, click to "Notice", as in not like the user "Diggs" or "Likes" the content of the article, and not that they want to bother saving it to Favourites, but a touch in the sence of a the *nix command, or a 'poke' to the issue embodies in the linked to page.

So, on the page, in ASCII;

This is the title of the link! 324 diggs/94 undiggs (small url) 863 noticed [++] [*] [~] [Tag:] [img thumb/whatever]

This is the title of another link! 243 diggs/213 undiggs (small url) 546 noticed [++] [*] [~] [Tag:] [img thumb/whatever]

(the buttons representing 'digg', 'favourite/save', 'notice' and 'tag:'

the tag textarea expands on clickingm like the stackexchange search box, and does auto-complete for a users tags, with suggestions from the global tags, like del.icio.us. personal taxonomy can be cached locally for users.)

ALSO - reposts in different communities can tie back to a global site dashboard listing related taxonomies, from groups and users who favourite the link publically

So

Bottom up social tagging link topic clustering
Some communities have taxonomies moderated
Moderated taxonomies could be linked with Linked Data, DPpedia, etc.
So some serious bits of the site, some open and silly bits
Bits and bobs displayed in a timeline format (D3.js?), arrows between concepts in a postcyberpunk style semantic news and search display
Paid access for high-volume API calls

From old wiki:

Group types

Groups for collaboration on and sharing of conversation, news, code, media, services, etc.

Active = Groups as in membership.
- Who can 'join'?
  - Open = Cost of entry is participation.
  - Closed = Some form of new-member rules.
- What output can people see?
  - Public = Open process, easily forkable.
  - Private = Group or subgroup curates output, hidden process. Trust?

Passive = Groups as in topics of interest.
- Web of semantically related topics and ideas.
- Mining and 'routing' of relevant related content

Individual hubs could federate the service they wished (widgets, social aggregation, files, etc) in a manner that could be open or hidden. Tunnelled inter-darknet connections between anonymised users and services.
