#22So let me get this straight. TC only covers startups that have raised money, and uses that as a metric for whether or not the story should be written?

#23Just tried out Prismatic and it seems to give suggestions much better than my current favorite - Flipboard; on the other hand, Flipboard's UI is way way better.
Something like Flipboard's UI + Prismatic's content would be a super awesome product.

Actually, Alexia approached us months ago and had been converted into a believer! It's a pretty common story for us. People are grumpy about news apps because they've been frustrated in the past, then their friends share a bunch of interesting stuff from prismatic, then they give us a chance.

#26For those that like this kinda of application, you might also like Zite (I use both and am not affiliated with either): http://www.zite.com/

Jason is the man and we'll be prodding him into doing more posts and starting to open source a bunch of our clojure stack.
The Graph library is intriguing to me, would love to see some of your stuff open sourced.
We're working on it. Hopefully we start to get some pieces out early next year!

#28Great, another service trying to solve the signal to noise ratio. My thoughts on this: http://www.techdisruptive.com/2012/09/18/we-are-far-from-sol...
We are not solving the signal from noise problem. We think that's not the right way to frame modern relevance.

Well congrats, I'm glad to hear it. My co-founder uses your app every day and loves it.
My beef is that it seems TC always ties news to funding cycles, which IMO puts the focus on the wrong thing.

#30Great! I love the service, I miss only an app for my Android tablet. Keep up the good work.
