Ask HN: Feedback needed on NewsQast - new local news aggregator

NewsQast is a local news, weather, and traffic aggregation service providing a single view of news across multiple local sources.

I would like to ask the Hacker News community to provide me feedback on the concept and usefulness of the service. I'd like to know what you think would make a news site more valuable to you as a consumer. I'd also like to know if anyone has any suggestions on making news sites like this more engaging.

Thanks for the feedback.
