Hi everyone,
I'm looking for some feedback from the HN community. To give a little background information, a friend and I, both non-technical, decided to work on a startup last year and applied to YC Summer 2011. We weren't accepted and eventually pivoted our idea into something else around June.
The New Social Times is essentially a TweetDeck for news. A way for users to find top news stories across the web via social media, displaying results on a single page. We launched in Washington, DC a couple days ago. At the moment we're focused on gaining early adopters/serious traction; there's been good movement so far!
I'd really love to get some feedback from the HN community. Any comments would be greatly appreciated!

You might have me login with twitter or something and give me a more customized news stream based on my interests (I really don't care about justin bieber for example). And maybe make a more common view pattern (that full screen thing is annoying me).
