New Idea....

So I have been thinking about my new addiction and have a few ideas.

One thing I was thinking is reviewing some projects out there, constructing them, documenting them, and posting my findings on a new blog. (I figure this is for the most part a tech blog, so until I find a way to merge them, I think I should keep them separate.)

One other thing I'd like to do is to have something community based. Now when I say "community based" that can be for the most part anything. What I was thinking was...... Most people know about digg.com. Well...my thought is to create a site model after digg and devote it to Alternative energy.

The site could be broken down as following:

Alternative energy articles
Green ideas
How to's
Reviews
Design
And anything else that would contribute to the community (possibly even a forum.)

People would vote for the best content, and that would make it to the front page. I wouldn't want it to be a popularity contest as much as I want it to be based more on content. The more good content there is, the easier it will be to get the word out!

So, there ya go! That's my idea. So what's everyone's thoughts on this? Do I have any volunteers that would would like to help/contribute to these ideas? Anyone out there who might want to run with this idea himself? I could see a good possible revenue stream in something like this.

I think its a brilliant idea! I would definitely check in with that. You mention digg. But really you don't want it to turn into a popularity contest, like some other site we know, right? Yeah.

Yes I thought about that...reddit format might work as well....whatever would be easy to implement.
