[p2p-research] gaming social news

[Michel Bauwens]

no problem sepp!

I do think that the digg 4 concept of limiting the groups to trusted peers
is a good one, though no panacea, and I would hate to do that in the context
of digg,

however, I think our own social site could incorporate such social news
capability, which was once also proposed by dmytri kleiner,
