Thanks for all the great feedback all. It seems like the design and user interface are the big winners, as is the simplicity of the site. We wanted to introduce the power of aggregation to the mainstream, and so far the ability to customize by clicking on logos has been a big hit. Understand that voting aspect will be difficult to differentiate from regular Digg-style popularity votes (we're looking for quality votes). We're working on figuring out how best to approach that. And yes, the beta will be public. We'll be opening the site in a couple weeks to try and build the user base.

Hey shafqat, what service do you use for general news aggregation, basically what newswires service do you get your stories from, not how you store it, or apply proprietary algorithms? I've looked at a bunch of them and there didn't seem to be a clear choice that provides all the sources that you provide here. I had a similar but very different concept some time back and am still looking for ways to get the aggregation easily without infringing on copyrights, etc. Your response would be much appreciated.
