You can go to Bloomberg, Reuters, WSJ, FT and hit a page with the most-read stories, but now everyone shares everything on social networks and blogs, so we can try to make one page with the most popular news across all sites and blogs - find the top people who share news, and combine algorithmic, professional, and crowdsourced curation to make the best front page across financial media.
StreetEYE is more like a mashup of HN, Techmeme, Google News, Flipboard, Buzzfeed. Basically the goal is to make the best flippin' front page of the financial Intertubes, by all means necessary.
For now, no comments or submissions to avoid spam, but plan to add them.
A longer manifesto here - http://blog.streeteye.com/blog/2013/10/the-streeteye-manifes...
Been around for a couple of years in various iterations, has a bit of traction among financial journos/twitterati.
Never submitted before because the typical HN reader is not the target, but did an October relaunch, and there was a lot of interest in this thread where it was mentioned - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6844565

Would love to hear feedback, suggestions, any issues let me know! Please be gentle, still MVP/POC!
Platform is Django on back end, Bootstrap + crude jQuery on front end.
It's not an x86 emulator/Riemann hypothesis solution in Javascript/Haskell but it's been a fun project and I hope people find it useful.
If it has product/market fit, would look to build a team, do a startup accelerator.
