Casey NewtonIt’s interesting that in the conversation about what platforms might fill in for Twitter next year, Reddit hardly seems to figure. Are there features they could add that would make it a contender?
Jon Porter@caseynewton I think it would have to find some balance between the curation of the "Best" post ranking, and the newness of "New."
By default when I open the site I'm often seeing news that's one to two days old under "Best," but sorting by "New" just feels like spraying a Reddit post firehose at your own face.
As much as people complain about Twitter's ranking algorithms, it does a decent job showing you important posts from the last five minutes without getting overwhelming.
