Amen! There is no meaningful way to &quot;equalize&quot; social news and still have it be social, addictive and compelling...

People can hate all they want to, but presence, participation and politics cannot be taken out of human social interactions.. online or off!</description>

		<description>Brett,

There is a similar discussion brewing on other social networks like Sphinn where users there are trying to figure out how to prevent mediocre content from constantly appearing on the home page because of social influence. While there are many interesting ideas being thrown around, no one can deny the fact that the more active and involved users often get their submissions to the top spots more frequently so definitely there is a hierarchy that kicks in at some point along with favoritism because of superstar status.

Fighting that trend might be futile given that social networks reflect a lot of elements that are human nature. The more involved in something you become, the more pull you&#039;ll have with it - no doubt about it. Also depending on the network and audience, type of content will have a greater pull than who posted it, but from what I&#039;ve seen, the old adage of who you know is still more powerful than what you know when it comes to social networking.

Social skills can be and usually are more effective than technical or professional skills when it comes to opening up opportunities and gaining traction in social networks, so to do well in such environments, participants would do well to remember that. At the same time you will also need some technical/professional know how once you&#039;ve got your foot in the door so don&#039;t get me wrong here.

Way to go for hitting the nail on the head and saying what many people are fighting tooth and nail to deny.</description>

		<description>Hi Brett,

I think you&#039;ve got a perfect point here: hierarchy is an organic part of keeping things rolling - be it a company or a community. If you take social hierarchy out of a community it stops to be hierarchic but it stops to be social as well.

cheers,
Zsolt</description>
