Reddit

  • A self-governed, community sourced news sharing site
  • Default view is a list of trending items from a select number of sub-reddits (or "Subs"). Trending items are based on the number of views / clicks / votes.
  • User can search and subscribe to Subs of a wide variety of topics
  • Reddit has multiple metrics and economies in place
    • Gold - gold tokens are awarded by other users to people to encourage more good behaviour and participation. Gold token can be purchased by buying a reddit subscription or by earning them through participation.
    • Karma - there are two types of karma a user can earn: link karma, and comment karma. Karma is awarded by other community members by "upvoting". Conversely you can lose karma through "downvoting".
 

(thumbs up) Community-sourced content with a micro-economy.

(thumbs down) What becomes most visible is often what is more popular. Popularity alone may not be a good metric.
