Awesome,
Would you ever go into detail why you did it ? I wrote a personal app over year ago called DashBored (I suspected this was gonna happen when the big CO's were all about API restrictions).
Sure. I have been musing over building a website for a long time. I knew that to build something new was difficult. So I wanted to build something cleaner, faster and simpler than other people. News is the number one thing that people often seek on the internet, and thus, that is the path I went down. Originally, it was just a site that I created as a hobby for myself to view, but as i progressed, quite a few people liked it, and then Google Reader died, and I thought, this would be a good opportunity.
