The interface looks pretty appealing. I have a newsfeed service and it's got me a little 'too' aware of news but the service UI doesn't look as clean as the mentioned above. Sometimes it slows my phone down a lot though if they are image heavy and i have several apps up. I do evaluate services like this first with justaskgemalto the digital security site.

I’d also suggest that trying to click tiny little ratings buttons across the top of erratically moving boxes can get annoying pretty quickly. I had two boxes jump just as I was clicking, so now their algorithm thinks I hate two of the topics I want to see most (and there’s no way to adjust your ratings, that I can find).

I agree. It seems to be too much work for a payoff that does not seem that great. It would be much better if somehow all of this could be handled in the background or perhaps by leveraging the user’s existing social bookmarks, diggs, etc.

UI does look very sexy though.

AType, great innovative UI work. This would seem to work great as an attention-grabbing in store display, or maybe something to run on a wall-mount in the office.

Seems like the personalization needs a lot of work though. After spending quite a while nixing items, I still wasn’t getting anything remotely relevant – as a user the content being thrown at me still seemed somewhat random.

Also, while nifty, the combination of scrolling and colors was just giving me headaches after a while trying to pay serious attention to the site. This seems more of a novelty than a serious way of getting content.
