Re: Prismatic creates a special signup for Google reader users
#14ok. 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 wou…
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 t…
You can add both feeds and topics - it'sa bit of a whole new world :) give it a go and see how things work out for you. we are always actively listening on twitter and feedback@getprismatic.com

#17For Google Reader refugees coming here hoping for their salvation, some advance warning: Prismatic is not a straightforward RSS reader.
It's more similar in concept to Pandora - you tell it what content you're interested in, it tries to generate a content feed you might find similarly interesting.
This does not mean it's a poor source for information, quite the contrary - it's a very useful information discovery tool.
However, it will not show you every post (unread or otherwise) from RSS feeds of your choosing. It's just not that kind of tool.
Here's an (older) article on NYTimes regarding it:

This new entry page on their site seems to be an extension of their Google Reader integration they added last June, automating the import of your current RSS feeds as 'seed' interests to generate your Prismatic feed:

#18i cant say enough positive things about prismatic. i have been using it for months and it bubbles up 90% of what i want to read. i thought it was just me, so I recommended it to non-tech friends and three of them all have come back and admitted they do most of their reading via prismatic. i was very skeptical initially, but have been presently surprised.

I'm getting a 400 error when I try to complete the 'choose a username' screen.
No visible reaction to pushing the continue button at all, but the error shows up in chrome's console.
"Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token O"

#20Looks awesome. Believe, it is similar to Zite that it recommends news based on interest rather than predefined feed?. I love Zite for the fact.
Also, hate to be that guy. I'm one among the rarest who use Windows Phone. The site looks okay in IE but for few minor UI issues. Will be great if you can correct some of them without going much out of your way considering your priorities. Also, if it works in desktop IE 10, it will most probably work well in mobile IE 10 as well in case you want to check it.
Good luck!
