> For example, can you scrape an inbox and list of Facebook/Github/Tumblr/RSS/Twitter feeds to get a single high-sensitivity greatest hits from all monitored news feeds You've missed the point already. The web is vast, on the whole filled with 99.99% crap. But .01% of something large is still very big. You cannot list the interesting things a priori with a few feeds. Prismatic is about learning about what you actually like to read and giving it to you. It's got the smooth/sleak usability of Google reader (read title, keep smashing J when something isn't worth reading, essentially letting you skim/reject more than 10 uninteresting articles/minute), but without the low recall "enumerate every site I think I am interested in" subscription model. It's compelling and awesome.

Ok, I might well be missing the point. But enough people upvoted that I think this is a common perception: "Oh, not another time-waster". So, maybe make the homepage address this issue head on with a good video that shows why this is compelling, awesome, and productivity-increasing.

  I do think it's mostly a time filler like say, hackernews or a good subreddit. Maybe you'll find some article that will increase your productivity, but that's definitely not the focus. It's just about giving you a stream of articles that you'll probably enjoy reading.
