Question Digg-like Personal Development site?

With all the personal development blogs out there, I was wondering if anyone knew of a digg-like site for the niche?

Basically where people submit and vote on articles and the best ones are promoted to the front-page

Cheers,
Glen

The tips section on Gaia is as close as you'll get to this. Articles are ranked with stars, one through five.

Mm, that might actually work (creating it). Interesting.

I've heard this question asked before. This sort of thing seems to be high in demand, and PD is a pretty good niche.

Hmm.... maybe this sort of idea could belong in the business section, as someone could really create a lot of value here.......

I was thinking about starting one. Is anyone interested?

There are things I like about the Digg/Reddit style system. But I'm not sure this is the right system.

I want to keep the post (and comment) quality high. I don't want it to be "news" on PD. I want essays/long read original articles.

No "Ten Reasons to..." list posts, or I-read-Steve-Pavlina-and-will-regurgitate-his-posts posts. And no "response" posts. I don't want to read your reflection on someone else's writing, as much as I'd like to see your original piece.

Original thinking only, please!

I know some resources to get started. Actually, I (or we) could start this today.

P.S. If I were to start one, what should I call it?
