“ I love the idea of being alerted as soon as there is a new book about dogs in space, but there might be a danger of some kind of Cass Sunstein-style echo chamber actually happening here, if readers only get told about the kinds of things they already like.

Are links that make it to the front page of Digg really the best things on the internets at that moment?
