I'm part of the beta as well and I don't think I've logged in more than twice. Why do I need to get news from yet another source? I'd rather just go to CNN.com or Foxnews.com. This is a hard thing for them to tackle and I do wish them the best. If this works it could big huge and if not I'm sure Mike can get another great job for some cool company making the big bucks.

Alas, it’s open season on public betas this week. [...] […] I’ll admit, I’m a little annoyed. Alas, it’s open season on public betas this week. […]

I just don't sleep with it. I use it to wipe mildew from my deck. You are SO going down! :) Oh, I have a Terrible Towel alright. I just don’t sleep with it.

What you need is a Terrible Towel so you can root for a real team who actually has a chance :) Sports aside, your point is well taken. I hope Newsvine takes off and starts offering me more and more. That's the excitement and opportunity that comes with startups. Best of luck to you, man. Just not on the football field :) Silly Mike, 12th man flags are for wusses.

While it's true that 90% of the tech world current does, it's also true that 90% of the *non* tech-world does not. And besides, the Seahawks are going to kick the Steelers asses on Sunday. Take THAT! :) When you live in the tech world, it’s easy to get sucked into the trap of thinking that indeed everyone does use things like Delicious, WordPress, and RSS to consume information and express themselves.
