Ask HN: Review my Startup - The New Social Times

Heh, I wanted to make something similar! Good job.
You might have me login with twitter or something and give me a more customized news stream based on my interests (I really don't care about justin bieber for example). And maybe make a more common view pattern (that full screen thing is annoying me).

Is there any insight anyone else can offer? My partner and I would appreciate any kind of feedback, good or bad.
I'm looking for some feedback from the HN community. To give a little background information, a friend and I, both non-technical, decided to work on a startup last year and applied to YC Summer 2011. We weren't accepted and eventually pivoted our idea into something else around June.
The New Social Times is essentially a TweetDeck for news. A way for users to find top news stories across the web via social media, displaying results on a single page. We launched in Washington, DC a couple days ago. At the moment we're focused on gaining early adopters/serious traction; there's been good movement so far!
I'd really love to get some feedback from the HN community. Any comments would be greatly appreciated!
