I have an idea for HN. If there were tags on the links like entertainment it would be easier to see how valuable the content was a at a glance before I clicked. Better still, what if there were tags and the users could vote on the tag relevancy, removing the tag if a certain threshold was passed.
Not that I disagree with the idea that Facebook is lame, but the opinion expressed in that post is not the kind of content developer nerds want to find on HN. It's just a fluff content piece slapped together and linked here for hits.
I see and understand why this post has been criticized, both here and on Reddit.
But I believe bad content is a part of lesson learnt and I shall keep the link.
