New poll: what topics would you like to see?

by
in ask on (#3NM)
Greetings - I'm one of the volunteer editors, and thought I'd take the liberty*** to poll readers on what kind of articles we all find interesting . It's an "approval method" poll, so tick the box on any of the multiple subjects that interest you, and leave blank the ones you dislike. We'll see which topics rise to the surface (and which ones sink!)

The more I use the Pipedot interface the more I love it, especially given the competition. But a site like this is most interesting if it posts articles readers are interested in and that generate interesting and useful conversation (otherwise, what's the point?).

If you don't see a topic you'd like to discuss, just add it in the comments. Let's make Pipedot the first site you read in the morning. Having a better sense of what's interesting will help volunteer editors prioritize the best articles for submission. Thanks!

***"Take the liberty" means "didn't bother to ask Bryan." :)

Bit of a vicious circle though: the better the stories are, the more inclined you are visit more frequently. The more frequently you visit/comment, the better the site gets, etc. There's friction in commenting, too - if it's a pain to log in or read the comments, you're less inclined to post your thoughts, etc. But the achilles heel of any site like this is: how to add value over a simple RSS feeder of your favorite sites? Why not just follow the RSS feeds of a few big tech sites and call it a day? The answer to that question is what makes places like this one come alive.
