On the contrary, it is almost the sole reason I follow anybody anymore :) Over time what I have found is that, as a news junkie, I am going to be exposed to all of the headlines and links to all of the major and minor stories I want to follow through a broad range of sources. What Hubski can give me that another aggregation cannot is a consistent, quality gravitational center of conversation. For this reason, I am almost always more enchanted by the 'chatter' link than by the front page. The aggregated links are more of a framework that holds good conversation together. The way I go about choosing who to follow has evolved over time, that much is certain.Correct me if I'm wrong, but you really shouldn't be following people for "good comments," as the follow feature has nothing to do with whose comments you see.
