What do you guys consider the most "non-geek" site that has the same or a similar format to HN?<p>I constantly rave about HN to my friends, but nobody is interested in the contents here. Wouldnt this format also work for other news?
I believe you may to want to state the subject matter that you would like to get your friends engaged with. If it's stuff like SEO, social media, CPC and business, then try inbound.org. Other then that a sub-reddit around specific content may be your only shot. There are sub-reddits for just about everything. Once you create an account and choose your sub-reddits, that is all you see.
