Are the News / Tech / Gossip pages simply custom lists of people that are followed?

This - you don't seem to explain exactly what news/tech/gossip actually is or how you define breaking. Maybe for a non-twitter user they don't care but as a twitter user, I do. If that's your secret sauce, I still think you need to find some way of helping visitors understand just why your 'news' etc categories/lists are authoritative.

I like the idea of a lens on Twitter though.

thanks jlees for the info!

i'll add some details to what breaking/gossip etc.. all define

basically - breaking - is the latest news from the top x many twitters for given tag

each tag - ie. news/gossip/etc.. is the top x twitters for given tag

re lens on twitter - thats my main goal - just need to refine to display the best news to attract a userbase

cheers
