    “I wish everyone could see my browsing habits” said nobody ever.

      That’s not what this is. It’s more of a feed aggregator / reader with social features, framed as a browser of sorts.

      The main thing it’s used for is feed curation and content discovery. You can basically use anything with a feed as a source, then aggregate and filter things.

      It’s kind of like a news reader version of Yahoo Pipes almost.

      Probably true. I don’t see anything like that in the article, though?
