"Glinkster brings the social Web to the gaming community. What is 'the social Web'? The social Web puts users in control of content. Excellent social news sites like DIGG and social bookmarking sites like Del.icio.us popularized this concept and were the driving force behind much of 'Web 2.0'. Glinkster makes no bones about it - we love these sites, and we were influenced by them. We encourage people to use them. We wanted to bring these concepts specifically into the gaming community."
