I'm more interested in "todays interesting 10" - top is a dime a dozen. It seems more like a popularity game than using the great human mind to mine the gems that are hidden by volume and business. I'm looking forward to seeing if we on the Blogher ed group can keep that freshness and not fall victim to the sameness trap. I'm looking forward to following your category!

And I get so tired of the talking points pushed by both sides of the political spectrum. There's very little civil and analytical debate going on. That's one reason I mostly stay out of political discussions. Virginia, I’ve had the same experience with digg.

Certainly not anyone I identify with. We've become a nation of opinion-pushers for whom truth doesn't seem to be an issue. I just spent a weekend with relatives--he watches Fox news all day and she listens to Air America all day. Other than one is a rant from the right and one is a rant from the left, they sound just alike. Is this the kind of thinking that pushes things to the top of the heap of what is fresh and relevant? Eeek! I looked at digg and thought, “who are these people deciding what the new thing of the moment is?” Certainly not anyone I identify with.
