Thanks everyone for the interest, I have narrowed it down to two and emailed you both. Chances are I'll be doing this again in a month or two so lookout for that if you still need a hand. Cheers, Jason

The freelance design business is great right now, sometimes I get work on interesting projects, but rarely in the startup world. Thats probably the most interesting space to be doing UX right now hence the post. I have also done this before

Getting great content that is a true refection of sentiment is going to be a challenge. We do have a few ideas on how to make it tough to game, but I'm quite happy to have that problem. Thanks for the feedback.

Glad you liked it. Mobile is an interesting space for this content type. I can imagine a user getting relevant lists depending on their location. Actually location and localised content is going to be a big challenge for us - we can see pat

Fair enough. That is one of the things we plan on doing soon enough, we have a list of features to get through but it will get ticked off at some point. Thanks for the feedback.

I agree, you have some of the most important things right. It communicates very efficiently and probably works well for your market. One thing to be careful about is it does look very generic, that makes you less memorable.

That's a big part of it, but the piece that's missing is seeding news stories as they break.

Curating content in one place is going to be compelling, that's definably going to be a big part of this. Conceptually that's a big change from traditional news where a journalist publishes a piece and ends the conversation while things are
