with
nick sweeney
is a good read, but the distinction that’s trying to be made between
mefi
and
plastic
sounds vaguely familiar:
“The editorial element is the biggest difference, of course. It’s an attempt to introduce a kind of horticulture to the community’s growth: to weed out the duplicates and the flames and the links to the Usual Suspects, and introduce a kind of distance to the slavish news/meme cycle which so often cripples MeFi these days.”
ah yes, it’s yet another attempt to defeat the relentless forces that dictate the
life cycle of lists
, which every list [ and community site ] seems forced to endure.
