I clicked around for a minute and couldn't really figure out what the point of this sites is. Please enlighten me as to what this thing is for.

Seems to be a cookie cutter of RSS feeds with a basic voting interface. I think the idea is to consume many RSS feeds easily and to have them ranked by some kind of importance indicator so that influential feeds go to the top and as a result you discover hot stories first. At least, that's what I think it is supposed to be. A Google Reader for mobile, but stripped down and given community voting and an iPhone interface. I don't like it much, but mostly it's because: 1) There's still a hell of a lot of feeds to navigate. 2) You still have to jump out to read any article. 3) The voting interface seems clunky. Oh, and some of the feed links are broken.

  Thanks for the great feedback buro9 , I couldn't explain it better than that. there's still lot of feeds indeed, actually much more than what you can see now, but they are organize in categories, so you just choose what you really like. The healthcare category has more than 1326 Blogs listed there, and those blogs are the most relevant blogs in their areas, the Advertising category has 1500+ Blogs The search can help you find what you are looking for. *The voting interface looks clunky indeed , I'm working on it as well as the broken links. Now some additional features: 1) any publisher can submit his feeds here: http://www.gmbhnews.com/addsite http://www.gmbhnews.com/addsite

Hi megamark16, the site is mostly what buro9 said, and if you are a blogger, you can easily port your content to mobile devices from here: http://www.gmbhnews.com/addsite http://www.gmbhnews.com/addsite . And with the site, you can read the latest news from your mobile phone.

  I think this definitely needs to be explained.. via initial functionality :) When I go here, it should be LIGHTLY populated with an 'add your feed' button or something.
