Digg

B tiernew this week

Kevin Rose's zombie news brand reborn as an AI-curated feed that ranks stories by what 1,000 influential AI voices on X are actually paying attention to.

Kai's verdict

A genuinely clever reframe of the aggregator idea — using expert attention as the ranking signal is smarter than upvotes — but it's an alpha built by a team with a very recent track record of shutting down, and it lives or dies by X's API goodwill. Worth bookmarking, not worth depending on. (Verdict pending Phi's full review.)

Strengths

  • Ranks stories using real-time X engagement data — sentiment analysis, clustering, and signal detection — rather than community upvotes
  • Curated watchlist of 1,000 influential AI voices (researchers, investors, media) built from X's social graph, giving it genuine domain authority as a filter
  • Surfaces trending, rising, and 'in case you missed it' story categories in a clean, low-noise feed
  • Also ranks top 1,000 people and companies in AI with real-time popularity graphs — useful for tracking who's moving the needle

Weaknesses

  • Entirely dependent on X as its data source — deeply fragile if X changes API access or if AI discourse migrates to other platforms
  • No on-site discussion or community, so it's a read-only feed with no network effects to keep users coming back
  • Narrow scope locked to AI news only for now; expanding to other verticals may not yield the same signal quality

Best for

AI practitioners, researchers, and obsessive news-watchers who want to know what the actual AI insiders are reading without drowning in the X firehose.
