I'd love to see an all-entrepreneurship version of the Reddit/YCombinator service. There are a lot of us Ycombinator outsiders reading this from a marketing/business management perspective who'd love to get more of that content.

Rand,

Great to see you here. I'm working on a "all startups, all the time" social news site as an extension to OnStartups.com

Stay tuned...

If someone here would like to be the community manager for the new site, drop me a line (I'd even be willing to pay a modest amount, in terms of compensating for your time).

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Good idea. You're going to build it right? :P

Well, it happens that I also think that this could be an interesting approach to a social news website. It could also help us avoid the inevitable problem of large user bases and abuse from more vocal (annoying) minorities - such as Ron Paul supporters. There is also one more problem that I'd think could be addressed: language. I'd like to see a website where the user could have links in any language that s/he can sp…

Sounds interesting. Please drop me a line to talk about the filter concept further. My email is on my profile. I'm also interested in exploring the idea of porting this type of applications to Facebook, and therefore I'm arranging a weekend event to get a lot of developers together in once place to rapidly build Facebook Apps and learn from each other.

Great to see you as well, Dharmesh, and please do ping me when you launch your new social site. I'd love to get the SEOmoz community involved.

Less content, but more focused will definately be more hellpful. PG: I vote that we go back to ycombinator news and drop the hacker stuff. I would rather just focus on startup/business stuff. That's the reason I joined your news site in the first place.

I like the hacker stuff - focusing on startup/business doesn't provide me with enough variety.
