The first fifty years of hypertext research discovered and implemented many other types of linking, such as inclusion, expansion, and the ability to refer to elements within a node. The sad fact is that just because Ted Nelson wrote all of this up in his book Literary Machines does not mean that it is operational or that it will be easy to implement. And we need a software infrastructure that supports richer forms of hypertext and an economic model of linking. Let's give it five more years. We are a news and discussion site, sort of taking up from where Slashdot left off.
Any user can submit a story, which goes directly in a voting queue.
Any other user can vote whether to post it to the site or not. The collective votes of other users determine what appears to the public, and what never sees the light of day. But it works surprisingly well. It remains to be seen how well we scale, but I thought you might be interested in what some of us are doing toward making all web users creators, not just consumers. You could call it the ultimate selection-based content .
