John Troyer recently has posted a new article on his weblog "VMware connected". It’s about the new virtualization section on reddit, a source for what's new and popular on the web -- personalized for you. Reddit wants to democratize the traditional model by giving editorial control to the people who use the site, not those who run it. Your votes train a filter, so let reddit know what you liked and disliked, because you'll begin to be recommended links filtered to your tastes. All of the content on reddit is from users who are rewarded for good submissions (and punished for bad ones) by their peers; you decide what appears on your front page and which submissions rise to fame or fall into obscurity. John Troyer will try to keep dropping links, but feel free to submit your own links -- good articles, articles from your blog, etc. Obviously, since John works for VMware, his links will be VMware-centric, but he’s interested in any virtualization, so feel free to contribute.

I think the most important thing is that good stuff should bubble to the top. If you look at a place like Planet V12n http://www.vmware.com/vmtn/planet/v12n/ you can't keep up these days -- there's just too much going on in the industry and on dozens of blogs.
A place like the virtualization section of reddit should be a place where you can come by occasionally and see the most interesting two or three articles, while not having to wade through 300 blog posts pumped out over the past week.
