I like slinkset and yes it does fill a void between the tech-gurus and tech-no-nothings..

This is so easy to use, and fast, too.

I set up one to share company-internal links and news. Better than email, less painful than a wiki.

Why create one news aggregation/voting sites when you can create an unlimited number? I like the idea. Definitely allows somebody to easily take advantage of a niche without needing the expertise or work needed to create it from scratch.

Well done, couldn’t be easier to use. Consider me impressed.

Um, wasn’t corank.com doing something like this since like years ago? wasn’t pligg also going to launch something like this?

why then is the “hosted solutions to create your own digg-like site” presented as something novel?

IMHO these tools can be useful if used internally, but as a public site, I don’t know one single “hosted social news site” that ended up being successful, except news.ycombinator.com (which isn’t really hosted) and streetviewgallery.corank.com

Way better than “create your own Reddit”. Just created one for my music site in a few minutes and it looks good. You can see it (and try it) at rockonthestreet.com

This seems like a great site anytime you and a bunch of friends/co-workers want to share links. I’d use it.

Question – Isn’t this a public feed reader where as @Raskin pointed out, a smaller gathering will vote on the feeds. For now I’m using mine (http://www.1010.slinkset.com) as an RSS reader, also the ‘invite readers’ section can do with some ‘import contact’ help.

I’ll be posting all news about FUD, propaganda and PayPerPost.

Techcrunch will be a great source, thanks guys!

But I thought the whole point of Reddit and Digg and such was that they leverage the “crowd”…so Slinkset will leverage the “small gathering” at your blog / site / ???

Yeah… a social link farm app…

Both the TC and ThinkGene slinkset sites look really slick – they seem to match their home sites almost perfectly.

Simple, customizable, hosted, and easy to use? Looks like another sweet, lightweight social app. Interesting to see where they take it from here…
