ok. I'll admit this.

Though I'm sad to see GR disappearing, the primary reason for not using GR for me in the past 3 months has been because of Prismatic.

I've tried a NUMBER of content aggregators, content discovery tools, social feeds (whatever you call it) because I do like finding good reads, so far I think Prismatic team has very closely 'got it'.

It's by far the more accurate "we will find articles that you would be interested based on your taste" tool from my opinion.

Awesome to hear feedback like this! We have so far to go with the product though. We can't wait to ship the next big redesign. What do you think we can do to make the experience better?

I gotta be honest, I can't figure out how to use this.

I imported my Google Reader data (or so I am led to believe), but all I see is a generic feed full of (admittedly interesting, but not what I want) generic news stories. I see a way of adding 'interests' but not 'feeds'.

My confusion is somewhat assuaged by the awesome '/people' page.

Is this a Reader replacement, or a Reader poaching?

[edit: I see that this tool does not include an RSS reader, which I thought it would based on the invitation screen. This does not do anything that I use Google Reader for... which is to read RSS feeds!]
