Idea: Reversed news
First of all pardon me in advanced if my english doesn't make sense to some but i try to define my ideas that got struck me yesterday the best i can.
Here is it: news/articles based on people comments, contrary to traditional way which the news/articles that people comments on. In other word, comments that produced a news rather than news that generated comments. It work like this: people will given a specific topic (or any topic at all) to comment on. from all that comments then a selected few that relevant or the best in that sense will be a based on or references as to produced the news or an articles.
I dont know if this make sense, but if anybody got what i mean, please describe it better. Is it something like that?

[ 3.9 ms ] story [ 61.6 ms ] threadIt's kind of like a forum where at the end somebody writes an article describing the pertinent information in the thread. It's an interesting suggestion - not sure what the practicalities are, but you know those forum threads where entry #1 is a question ("How do I do X in Y"), #2-5 are requests for clarification, #6 is an answer, #7 points out the answer is wrong, #8 is another answer, #9 is a caveat on the answer, #10-#12 are ofshoots about whether #6 is wrong, #13-#15 are about somebody's avatar, and so on.
So I think the OP is postulating an "article" that says "In order to do X in Y, and as long as #9, then #8." where this "article" was caused by the forum thread.
Unless I'm misunderstanding.
on reddit/digg, people submit the actual news link that generated the comments based on that news
my idea is, people submit the comment first on any specific topic that result people produced a 'news' based on that comments
In my mind, news if referring to an event that has occurred (even if that event is the stating of someone's opinion)
Maybe "article" is a better term, or even "essay".
Someone chooses a topic, people discuss it, and then someone works that discussion into an essay about that topic.
