So I went on a spiel about this with Nickolati in the chat, and here's my best recollection of what I said:
So we've tried this whole INTL frontpage idea a few times before, and it never really worked out the way we wanted it to. There weren't alot of contributers, and perhaps the people who did contribute were actually pretty lame and didn't realize it at the time (sry guys :(). The idea of trying it again with the same, or at least similar premise is suicidal, I would venture to guess.
And then I started thinking, what sites out there are actually popular now among pretty much everybody? The Youtubes, Facebooks, Myspaces, Twitters, Blogs....It all has the same general appeal of an admittedly self-serving social outlet.
So I'm not sure how many of you guys have twitters and blogs, but I was sort of envisioning a frontpage that capitalizes on the appeal of the social networking thing and has a simple series of [i]arrangeable[/i] boxes linking to individual intl users that display live updates to our twitters, youtube favorites, facebook updates, etc along with other features like that. It would be a good outlet for people to show off their photography, comics, flash videos and all the things you said, but also provide people with one more place to go to when there at work and feel like saying "fuck you world" or "im drnunk as fcuk" in a blog-like setting, with the illusion of somebody out there listening. I'm sure snowy's square full of naked boobies and funny youtube videos would be quite popular.
I donno, I was just thinking of ways of getting everybody involved in the effort, however lame it may be.
