I hope it can, for this gives us another window on the news. No, it doesn’t replace editors, but it does check editors and tell them what people care about; it also enables people to find more stories than editors have time to find.” [...] [...] New Oregon Live site incorporates Reddit social news site “Here is a chance to see whether local news can work with social editing.

It is obviously you who does not have a clue. And in turn, this makes you suck. Badly. What kinda hippie leftist crap are you polluting your mind with. Move away. Now. I disagree Dedra.

This seems plausible, especially given how functionally different the sites are. I recall them saying most of the people they showed the site to early on would ask how they were different from del.icio.us, which in hindsight was a much easier question to handle since social bookmarking sites are fundamentally different from what reddit (and digg) aim to do. I realize a bit of snark is mandatory in the BuzzMachine, but saying reddit was "modeled after digg" seems a bit disingenuous, don't ya think? Especially since there is little evidence to support it. I don't think anyone would say Google was modeled after Yahoo!. Steve is right, at least according to the founders of reddit, who have said they had never seen digg until reddit had already launched.

(Couldn't they share this reg info?) - OregonLive's reg form is pretty onerous ... another thing (a nit, perhaps): i'm pretty sure Reddit and Digg were born contemporaneously, or at least that neither was "modeled" on the other. interesting - good to see the Newspapers taking the lead with something like this.
