Navigating on the internet is my passion. I love to discover new communities, ideas, articles, concepts and websites of any kind.
Sometimes it gets kind of lonely. Some other times I'd like to see what someone else is thinking about some of my favorite places on the internet and to share theirs.
I also want to have a better medium for storing these links. Something better than a simple bookmark manager. Or at least more creative. I sometimes feel like these tools exist only for you to forget about them. They're not engaging, for some reasons. I tend to read a lot from my RSS feeds, but these simple links stored somewhere are often forgotten. What I'm saying - they're always forgotten.
I wonder if there is or was a community dedicated exclusively on sharing such links? I'm thinking about something like a forum, where people can have their own corner with their shares (and with the possibility to organize them), so others can see their lists and such.
StumbleUpon used to be exactly this, for example. I think you were also able to also check other users profiles and see what links they liked and what they shared, but I was always focusing on discovering them myself without paying too much attention to the community. Now I want that back.
I know about all the new alternatives that popped up recently like Viralwalk, Cloudhiker, Jumpstick, maybe others, but they're not even close to what StumbleUpon used to be and the potential it could've had in the future.
Does anyone know a project like this? Does is sound fun, at least? I also found Aren.na, which is a Pinterest for links. It's fun, but it has its limitations.
