But bookmarks of new pages at least, which are notable for their currency. This is just an emacs site. It's like posting a link to http://google.com and calling it "Search" or something...
Social news sites never seem to be strictly news, sometimes in complete contempt of their domain or site names. Personally I blame, in order: the term 'Web 2.0', Wikipedia, and the rap music.
I use emacs with my Rails work. My biggest complaint is that Emacs is hard, but the community is relatively unfriendly. It seems to have inherited the Lisp culture - it is not kind to noobs.
In contrast, I found installing Ubuntu to be hard as well, as several pieces of my hardware were not well-supported. I asked many questions, some of them quite basic, and always received prompt, patient help.
I find EmacsWiki to be a great resource. Just getting into using emacs and the how-tos are very useful.
Formerly I had no religious preference in text editors but since I've started to learn Lisp emacs' gravity has pulled me in. Thanks for the pointer to http://www.cliki.net/, looks like a good site I hadn't seen before.

Whenever I have a problem, it and cliki.net (a great source for finding obscure, but useful, Lisp libraries) are the first two places I turn.
