Prismatic's Global Newsfeed

Hi All,

Jason spent a lot of time recently to make our Global Newsfeed pretty solid. We wrestle with the right balance between Google News (which we feel is not really updated for the social internet) and most popular news from social networks (which we feel lacks the right topical focus that one would expect from a global news frontpage).

We'd love to get feedback from the HN community. Read the post and follow the links to check out the global newsfeed and fill out the quick survey with your thoughts.

My feedback: The survey link shouldn't be buried under "what you think". I would gladly take a survey of yours, but I thought that would be an email or contact us link.

Good point, thanks. I edited the post, and here's a direct link to the survey for anyone who missed it:

Wow!

I've seen many similar things in alpha testing, but this is the first one that really works.

I get a 404 - Here is a link that works http://blog.getprismatic.com/blog/2012/5/11/prismatics-globa...

Oops -- think I broke it when I changed the survey link text. Think it's fixed now, thanks for posting.

Great functionality, I look forward to an invite. After I finished getting up to date with the day's event I enjoyed even more your prismatic.js file. Very solid work.

Lots of stuff showing up as block per RequestPolicy.

You should cache your icon usage instead of calling out to the source sites.

Why does Prismatic need permission to update my Twitter profile or post tweets for me?

Post tweets: so you can share from the app. Update profile: We don't do it, but Twitter only has 3 discrete permission levels (read, read/write, read/write/DM).

We never write to your Twitter account unless you explicitly ask us to.
