Virtual library for my your tastes. Select a tag next to the panda image or select a category like brand and enjoy the deep power of collaborative micro-filtering. @Jordan. I do agree... next step for advertising on SN is not content but tastes. @Ecklon

Closed widgets. Widgets controlled by the site. A walled garden of widgets. But widgets it is. Though why the didn't think to integrate the ability to get a widget virally from someone else's embed - crazy. Just look at the real widget world. Sounds like widgets to me. Closed widgets.

I designed something like this 7 months ago just as an extra but thought this cannot be unique since its such a straightforward idea. Please tell me this has been done before. I really need to get my ideas out a lot faster. Seems like all my ideas are coming to light these days. Are you telling me this hasnt been done before?

I mean yeah, that's clearly interesting (and usually how I think as well), but my first thought was that this could represent a new form of advertising in general. Seems to me if Jeremy does this right, he could charge major brands to create and offer (for free to users) different page elements. These are user-generated advertising campaigns. The brands get the right to feed new items into the mix, but more importantly they have the ability to measure the viral coefficient and stickiness. Teens are fickle, market research is expensive (is it?), and anyway the biggest risk for a popular teen brand is to fall into the "out" list. If my company was a teen brand, I'd want to know immediately if there was a 5-10% drop in the number of user-placed ads for my brand on their page.
