i was just wondering if yc filters multiple listings of the same url... because i see a lot of duplication submissions on here when a link extends beyond the first page of links.
Filtering duplicate URIs isn't enough to get rid of duplicate submissions. There are often several forms of a URI for the same page, and the same writeup is published on several news sites, never mind similar takes on the issue at hand by multiple bloggers.<p>This isn't something an algorithm can solve, but a good UI for searching old stories and annotating submissions ("this is the eyewitness take on that") could be worth it to reduce the amount of perceived redundancy.
