First off, I like the recommendations, and the learning algorithm seems decent. However the UI continues to give me nightmares. I setup a list similar to what I have in Zite or Flipboard. For some reason only Chrome will let me actually go to the list and scroll it. For everything else (IE, Firefox, Opera) I can see the list, I can click on the list, but I can't scroll the list.
While I like the recommendations, I would also like the ability to have more control over sources, and to control the refresh rate. Yes I "get" they think that isn't needed if they are doing this right. I just respectfully disagree.
Just my .02 worth. I wish the team well, and hope they have an Android App version of this eventually as I would love to have the pretty on my Sony Tablet S...
I suppose it's up to me to be the "Debbie Downer" on this one. First off, I like the recommendations, and the learning algorithm seems decent. However the UI continues to give me nightmares.

As a recent daily user, prismatic is awesome. The way they leverage twitter is pretty interesting, mixing in "endorsements" to articles from both people close to you, famous people, and random people, in a way that keeps it interesting. There's also fairly heavy machine learning going on behind the scenes, in a way that is non intrusive. Congratulations to those guys.
Agreed, I think it's the first effort at article recommendations that's really worked for me. I think it's due to a pretty clever combination of social signal and machine learning.
Before you sign up, Twitter asks you to give Prismatic permission to "Post tweets for me", why?
