NewsBump, where readers are in charge

Paul Knapp has launched NewsBump, a news and current affairs site where users determine the ranked display of the stories, something that Digg, Kuro5hin and NowPublic currently do, though it's an idea that goes back at least to MIT's fishWrap in 1992. "It's news by democracy," Paul says.

I suspect we'll be seeing dozens of such sites in the near future now that the users want to exercise increasing control over the editorial process.
