I'm nowhere near being able to help with this, but I thought it might be interesting to share. Who knows, we could even incorporate some of the ideas that come out of this here on hubski!
It sounds like a good idea.
As for Hubski, recommendations are definitely going to need to be improved as we grow. Currently, hub recommendations are based on a pretty simple grab from the users that you follow. We look for commonalities in the hubs that those users follow. Tag recommendations are currently based on your shares. I think the next step will to make both hub and tag recommendations based upon this data (your shares, and the following (and maybe shares) of those you follow). Also, a possible step might be to bias external posts to show more content from a recommended set. It might make sense that 1/3 to 1/2 of external posts are those that we think you'd like based on your activity.
