Sustain this

Posted in Religionon Oct 10, 2006

If you’ve ever seen digg.com you will feel right at home with Sustain’d. Sustaind.org is a website with links to LDS-related articles and posts on the Internet. Like digg.com, users can vote, or sustain, their favorite articles, which controls which articles show up on the front page. Users can also submit articles or comment on articles.

Sustain’d is kind of addictive if you are an LDS news junkie like myself. I think it would be even more fun if there was a bigger user base so that there will be more action on the site and more comments about the articles.

I hope you like Sustain’d. If you ever end up submitting an article, may I please request that you put a little bit of effort into the summary/description. The description should be short, yet long enough for the reader to understand what the article is about without having to actually read the article. This will allow me (and other users) to more quickly sort through the articles so that I can read and sustain the ones that are most important to me.

I really like Sustain’d too. My only complaint so far, like yours, is that it’s hard to tell if I’ll want to Sustain or even read something until I do. I think I might like it more if the RSS feed opened directly to the article but contained a link to the Sustain’d page. (Right now it’s opposite.)
