Welcome to Glorum!
What is this?
It's an experimental message board. The version currently online works in a way similar to any web forum or usenet group, with a few differences.
- No Categories/Groups
Messages are organized with tags. There isn't a central topic. Any topic is ok as long as messages are tagged appropriately.
- No Moderators
Messages can be filtered by anyone with a click on "+" or "-" near each message. If enough people click on "-" the message is deleted.
- Message Visibility
The visiblity of messages (both threads and individual replies) is not flat and can vary from very small to very big depending on the number of "+" and "-" received.
It is currently little more than a prototype. Many features may be lacking and bugs are certainly present.
Any comment about it is greatly appreciated. You can post a reply to this thread, start a new one or email me at mariorizzuti(())yahoo.com.

this looks more like reddit to me, is there any relation with reddit? because i loved reddit, and i kinda like glorum too. :)

yes, reddit toghether with delicious, google groups and some others is a model for glorum interface. Minimalism and simplicity, mostly. The +/- rating probably reminds reddit rating, too. Glad you like it:-) What would you change?

I like the minimalistic, coz it's faster. I think you guys should promote this more intensive.
btw, is this also has something to do with Y combinator? :)

Yes, definitely this project is still in its infancy and a proper promotion is still on the to-do list.
The current plan is allowing 2 more weeks for fixing details and allow a small community to build up and later starting a more substancial promotional campaign.
Glorum is an italian project not related with Y combinator.
