I don’t understand the use of sites like reddit, digg, etc etc

news == news, whether you like it or not. Only watching/reading those things that fit your interests makes you a narrowminded and uninformed individual

Apparently the people that run reddit support Ron Paul strongly, and don’t really care what you want to read.

just to point out, you down voted articles supporting ron paul, and it is recommending articles bashing ron paul. that would logically make them articles you would be interested in.

What do you mean you don’t want to see anything about Ron Paul? You’re a blogger on the internets, right?

Kidding, of course… ;)

Well, I guess Reddit knows you like Ron Paul that much!

I don’t think recommendations are personal at all, no? Anyway, I don’t get why all these Ron Paul links are everywhere either.. unless the general Internet populace have turned into religious conservatives, which doesn’t seem to fit with the general profile of Reddit users you see everywhere else.

So far my experiences with reddit have all been extremely frustrating. Intricate, erratic rules that just don’t work, and content that seems to be controlled by a minority. If I were a conspiracy theorist I’d suspect it was all some type of evil plot by Ron Paul to promote Haskel, or something…

Joe P-

I have played with jaanix a bit. My impressions?

1) The sliders are a terrific interface idea. I think they fit the problem perfectly. These are the best part of your site.

2) The site is ugly. I think you’re likely a talented programmer, but you desperately need someone to polish the site, visually. This might seem secondary to getting the back-end stuff right, but it’s not. Look and feel and usability are EVERYTHING.

I think your site has a lot of potential–you’re really close to something terrific.

Best,
Ben
