Like the idea, a lot, but I'm missing text. Maybe a small header text telling the core news of the item (and with more text than a typical tweet). And also articles instead of just videos? Or maybe the whole point is not having it?
Personal preference of course, but for instance after clicking Russia-Ukraine conflict it doesn't tell me in a quick glance what the story is, at the left there is a bunch of meaningless pictures from people I don't (or hardly) know, at the right some tweets in what seems at least 3 different font sizes, with the green imo making it harder to read,and then followed by a whole lot of videad with no title. Overall, an overload of colours and images. For me at least.

- thomasahle 12y agoExactly my though as well, a 'quick catch up' for each topic would be very useful.
- austenallred 12y agoThis is the number one response we're seeing, and it makes sense; we (the founders) follow this stuff all day every day, but it's really difficult to catch up, even though all that would be required is a couple of sentences. Trying to figure out the best way to do that without taking over editorially now.
- phreanix 12y agoMaybe a blurb from a source that is also curated and fact checked.
- essayist 12y agoJay Rosen's idea of "explainer" [1], implemented for instance by Vox's cardstacks, might help here. [1] http://pressthink.org/2014/01/keep-me-informed-parsing-the-logic-of-ezra-kleins-move-to-vox-media/ http://pressthink.org/2014/01/keep-me-informed-parsing-the-l...
