I've been in the Idina closed beta for a couple of weeks. The #1 thing I like about this is the power of "rate and refresh". The low latency feedback loop is really impressive. Maybe I don't use enough news sites, but I haven't seen anything like that before.

The breadth of content is pretty good. I was surprised I was able to build a good gaming topic that's not just AAA titles or some niche category.

I'm a little worried about rating my way into an echo chamber. Having used Idina for a few weeks, that seems like a risk. For example, 4 of top 6 stories in my gaming topic are from the same site. I really like those stories and that site, but I wonder if I'm missing stuff from sites I've never seen before.
