Spotplex seems to be down currently, so I haven't been able to fully explore the site. However, based on the Techcrunch coverage, it seems like this will ultimately be just another content suggestion site. I like the innovative way of sourcing stories, but at the end of the day, it will just be another wall for news to echo off of. If a story makes it to the front page of Spotplex, there's a good chance we'll see it on Digg. And then Reddit. And so on.

However, Spotplex will ultimately garner a different type of reader base, so it should provide some variety from that standpoint. Not to mention, now we're getting one step closer to our news feeders becoming "self aware."
