Prismatic Hopes to Create a New Category of Social News

I've been using Prismatic for a month or two and really like it--it brings up interesting and relevant stories every time.

I love prismatic - its completely replaced Google reader for me. I find that it consistently shows articles that are really relevant to me, from sources I've never even considered. Often, I'll find highly relevant things on prismatic a few hours before a friend emails me the same article that they found through some other source.

The only thing about it that I really dislike is that there's no option to delete or cancel your account (a trend with startups). I don't fall to the silly excuse that it's in beta or that they'll have such options "soon". This should be there since day 1. Shows respect for the user/tester and sends the message that your information/data is yours to keep/remove whenever you want.

Keep in mind that this is not a criticism towards Prismatic (which is really cool and well done), I just used them as an example to a common startup practice.

Prismatic is what I read in the morning when I'm waking up and drinking a cup of coffee. I think it has the potential to change the way we consume not just social news, but news in general.
