What I find works well: blog-style posting. With tags.
In Reddit you can approximate this with post flair (tedious to set up, but doable). See http://reddit.com/r/AskScience or http://reddit.com/r/AskHistorians for good examples.
Alternatively: an RSS reader with categorized streams I can follow. Again, Reddit offers this:
http://www.reddit.com/wiki/rss
http://www.reddit.com/r/pathogendavid/comments/tv8m9/pathoge...
It lets you create topic-based "channels" that people can follow. So you could have one for 3-D printing, and when you add to it, you know everyone following it is specifically interested in 3-D printing. I'd love your feedback if you decide to have a play :-)
