Hi Hacker News,<p>We’re beta testing a new thing, and we’d love your feedback. It’s called Mendo, a new take on social sharing that’s understandable, asynchronous, and surfaces the best things being shared by people you trust.<p>Mendo is simply ranked by number-of-shares, for links last shared in a given time period. In order to start cheaply, we integrated with Twitter and are surfacing our data as a daily digest of top links shared by the people you follow on Twitter. On its own, this feels useful for us: we want to be in the loop, but often miss things on our social feeds.<p>But, don’t be fooled, this isn’t just a Twitter digest email. The idea here is a new system for sharing and ranking content on the web. We’re working on apps and other ways to display this data, if the idea resonates.<p>Please let us know what you think!
