Show HN: Thread.ly - a news reading and sharing app (feedback appreciated)

Nice to see some similarities to what we have done at <a href="http://utopic.me/" rel="nofollow">http://utopic.me/</a><p>The news board seemed 80% from one source, BBC. Would love to see more variety. Did not really understand your rating algorithms there. Clicking on the news opened just 1 sentence of the news item. Either redirect to the full webpage or use full text scraping like Flipboard/Zite do (keeping of course copyright in mind).<p>Some objects you have don´t have photos and then the headline jumps to the top of the object, which is distracting.<p>After registering, I now have just an empty page under my first board, saying no threads found. Not sure what I should do next.<p>Good luck - better (big data) content discovery &#38; personalization projects are always needed. And try to find a specific niche - it´s a very tough and coverrowded market.

I like it. I see that it scales down nicely, but I wish that it used media queries so that it would be more appropriately sized on a mobile device. As is, it looks like a promising alternative to something like Pulse.

The website doesn't work on Firefox 9.0a1 (2011-09-24). Is it something wrong with my setup? (I use AdBlockPlus + Ghostery)<p>EDIT: The website looks beautiful on Chrome! What tools did you use?

The name is similar to Threadsy, a funded startup.<p><a href="http://www.crunchbase.com/company/threadsy" rel="nofollow">http://www.crunchbase.com/company/threadsy</a><p>When I worked at Big Generic Company with a firewall blocking gmail, threadsy still worked. So I set up an account with only gmail and could use gmail in my browser. Seemed less likely to get me in trouble than installing Tor.
