For the book I’m writing, I’d like to find examples of sites/services that aggregate and filter news and posts by using your social network as a filter. That is, you can tell the service (implicitly or explicitly) that it should use what your friends find interesting as a guide to guessing what you’ll find interesting. A site like Digg.com isn’t a good example because it doesn’t let me specify some particular people as having interests that should weigh more heavily than the overall community’s interests. (Digg is an excellent example of something else, though :)

Thanks very much, and no matter how obvious the source, please don’t assume I’ve heard of it. [Tags: EverythingIsMiscellaneous media]
