ok, but would you agree that the quality of the Digg clones has generally been poor?
I migrated from Digg to Reddit a couple of years ago. Then from Reddit to hackerNews. Reddit appears to be succumbing to the same fate as Digg, (too many lol-cats, and cheap comments).
This site would keep the focus on tech news and try to keep the community relatively small.
quick byte:
-(37signals before DH) During a job interview in which JF wasnt very serious about landing the job, he randomly met an acquaintance. This person agreed to work for 37signals as a designer. This person brought a former client with him to 37signals. This client spent atleast 200,000 in services from 37signals.
Who knows how 37signals would have turned out without that 200k during its early years.
This was 37signals big break, not saying it "made" 37signals, just saying that 200k obviously helps and luck was a factor.

What was accomplished at liveCurrent?
