Hi ndnichols, thanks for your feedback! "Every time someone visits News Feed there are on average 1,500 potential stories from friends, people they follow and Pages for them to see." The FB EdgeRank shows only an average of 300 stories out of these 1,500 each day. Some people do not care about Social Media but some do..and we believe that customers need a better solution to this :).

Hey oemerax, thanks for taking the time to respond. Like you said, I'm probably not the audience for your app :-) For me, the important aspect of social networks is their pleasure-to-time ratio. E.g., "I'm going to look at Facebook for five minutes while waiting for the bus, I haven't looked at Facebook in two days, please show me the most interesting stories of the last two days so my five minutes pass quickly." (I don't think Facebook does a particularly good job here, but I think that they are at least trying to build the thing I want.) Where it sounds like the people you're targeting are thinking "I want to see every post from my approved friends". So you're going for completeness, which I don't care about. (Again, different audience, haha.)

Good luck!
