What is Kimind News Community?

Kimind News Community is a site where you can share whatever you find interesting on the web with people who value your opinion (whether you know who they are or not), and where you can also find what's interesting from people whose opinion are important to you - whether they know who you are or not.

Everything on Kimind News Community is submitted by Kimind News Community users, and after they submit a story, website, etc. other people will read it and give it a thumb up or down. If that story receives enough positive votes, it is promoted to the front page. But...!

While there are other sites offering similar services, in Kimind News Community each user has their own "front page", and the stories promoted to a user's front page are determined only by the votes of the people this user has previously selected - these are what we call, the user's friends.

Just a friends-driven social content website?

No. Friends are friends - there's mutual consent and it's a reciprocal relationship. In Kimind News Community, when you select who your friends are, you don't need consent from them, and you don't become a friends for them. It is not a reciprocal relationship.

Why friends, why not friends?

Because that's really how the world is when it comes to trusting other people's opinions.

Say there's a guy named Joe Whittman. Say I like how this guy thinks and I notice he has a Kimind News Community account. I would add him as one of my friends right away! I want his opinion count when my "front page" is being shaped up.

But hey, perhaps Joe doesn't even know who I am. Or perhaps he knows me but doesn't care what I think. Should he be forced to add me as one of his "friends" simply because I trust his opinion?

What are the Kimind News Community values?

Four words:

• Share - Submit web pages and stories you find interesting.

• Rank - Vote "up" what you like, or vote "down" what you don't.

• Control - Select only people whose opinion you trust, so you can...

• Discover - ...be informed of web pages that get a better ranking by those people you've selected.
