It would be cool to set up a method for doing this, or have the community managers do it... anything that makes the pages of 9rules more rich :) I think Justin has a point, the content on 9rules should be more than just headline links, if possible it should include notable quotes or snippets from each article.

Thanks for commenting. @Justin: Not sure what you mean about the design just looking like a feed reader. Personally I feel it does showcase my content as a member more than any reader would and I certainly see far more design than google reader in the new 9rules. I don't think you can get such a variety in your reader - you'd have to have added them and to me that is the point of 9rules as in you can find sites you wouldn't usually have on your radar. @Mike: Yes I really love the direction and growth 9rules is having.

Let me first say that I applaud the desire to showcase user content. Its a great goal. I don't think the current design does that though. To me, the design looks like google reader or safari's RSS feed. Its just a headline listing. If you want to showcase the content, give me some teaser text, highlight a quote from the article, tell me something about the author. Why am I interested in this headline listing? Show me something I can't get in my rss reader. I’m going to have to say that I kind of disagree with your enthusiasm for the new site.

When you said it felt like 9rules was now a mature entity, that really means a lot, and also means that we got things moving in the right direction according to our members and readers.
