Do you think that there's a need for a HackerNews feature or maybe a separate site altogether that would allow one to add their favorite HN links ( both the original post and the HN commentary ) as public bookmarks?
One could then link to their faves list in their profile so that others can see these links. Like-minded individuals could then see what links their counterparts found interesting.
I suppose this wouldn't have to be a specialized site. Any HN member could build a page in static HTML or whatever programming-language listing their favorite links.
I wrote a quickie AWK script to demonstrate what I'm talking about. The first link below is my blog post about it. The second link is a very spartan list of HN links that I've saved in a text file.
