I'm working on a social network based around link sharing!
One of the core ideas is that rather than following a whole person, you can follow a subset of their tags so someone can post about obscure cheeses and ambient electronic, but lactose intolerant you can just follow the music. Or you can follow someone's tech posts but not follow news of their dysfunctional city.
Honestly a lot of it is resurrecting ideas from earlier days in the web like Digg and Delicious, and despite having the idea for ages and having worked on it for a decent while, it's only getting more relevant as the web gets more algorithmic and external links get demoted in sites like Twitter.
The aim is to bring more curation and humanity back to the web, and the next feature I'm really excited to get out is one to make in-person conversations even better!
It's already live @ lynkmi.com and if it's of interest to you, you can sign up to the waitlist (it's very short)
This kind of reminds me of Google Circles where you would group people into areas of interest. I always thought that idea was really good and should’ve been pursued further.
