And speed is essential in the game of getting attention from others on the Internet. I’ve been playing with social bookmarking sites like Reddit and Digg and finding they have a large number of users that aren’t quite satisfied with them. Digg is very techno-libertarian; Reddit is DailyKos Left. While they both bring up interesting articles and there are wonderful discussions to be had, one wonders if they’re a bit too niche because of the users.

So I’ve taken CrispyNews and set up a “Conservative” social bookmarking/voting site - http://conservatism.crispynews.com - mainly to see what I will get. I think this might turn out to be huge, because it isn’t a matter of specialization; it’s a matter of an entire group of users being neglected or alienated at other sites. But again, it’s the speed of setting something up that allows me to make these sorts of claims, and to try. And I haven’t really capitalized on speed; I’d have more than one user if I did.

But still. Something to consider.
