News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

I would argue that the value provided by hackernews and reddit (and possibly stumbleupon? I'm not familiar with it) are content discovery AND comments, a huge value provided by both sites is in the comments, but being able to annotate web pages alone doesn't cover the dicoverability provided by the sites.

I think it's mainly because search engines so far have not had access to annotations, therefore the discovery had to rely primarily on what the consensus is from other properties (to a large extend property owners) about what's important as opposed to what other annotators think is important. So a new and relatively simple search engine could solve that problem.
