A DZone Feature Request

Finally social bookmarking starts to be fun. I really like DZone and the way voting works there. You really get "fresh links for developers". Reading along the Popular Links Feed I feel better informed about what's going on than I ever was before.

For some people the amount of links that pop up as "popular" may be too many to digest. In that case it can help to subscribe to the personal feed of a friend. Here is my feed.

An even better solution would be, if everyone could generate his own feed with criteria that a link has to meet. I suppose it would be very easy to have different feeds with a certain number of positive votes. ("Popular" currently means 4 positive votes, I think)

It would be even cooler if you could have a list with "friends" and "foes" of other DZone users. Votes of "friends" could be doubled. Votes of "foes" could be inverted.

There is this one guy who always votes against the links that I post. I think I really want to read all the articles he is against. It's a good sign of quality if he gives an article a down vote. ;-)

Update: This post is linked from DZone. People are starting to discuss more possible DZone features in the comments section there.
