Curious to see Nuzzel drop the Twitter sign in requirement... this means they must have enough organic signals and/or existing user information that recommendations can be made without sucking on the Twitter nozzle. Interesting!

@chrismessina we are still using Twitter data, but packaging it for use by people who don't use Twitter already

@abrams @chrismessina That's amazing! How do you get the initial recommendations? Do you just ask people for their interests?

I use Nuzzel every day, multiple times a day. Check Twitter, check email, check Nuzzel. It's wear I read the news. I save articles to Pocket all the time but never actually read them. With Nuzzel it's where I know there will be new stuff -- the right stuff -- that I need to be updated on all the time. Congrats to the team on the Nuzzel 2.0 Launch 😀 @abrams @heyyyjay @javiervegas @josemontesdeoca @mackinra

My favorite feature is that it shows how many of my friends are looking at a certain story. Definitely something I haven't seen before. Great job to the makers of Nuzzel!

Love Nuzzel, it gives the web an 'editor' who can surface a handful of the best reads each day. @abrams we spend a lot of time at Blab talking about growth. How do you and your team think about growth for Nuzzel?

Massive congratulations on 2.0 & the new fundraising round! I love Nuzzel & like most above I use it daily along with Pocket.

How is this different from reading news on Facebook or Twitter?

@matthui In my experience it creates a much superior feed because it's filtered. Only trending content appears based on multiple shares from those in my network. A lot of the noise gets muffled that way, which is great (although for sure some click baity BS still shows up). For me it's best when it's tracking the twitter shares in my network over Facebook. This is because 1. native tweets have such a short shelf life that it's easy to miss good content and 2. I've invested real blood sweat and tears into hand curating who I follow on twitter (not so much on Facebook), so if multiple of those smart, wonderful people are sharing something the odds are much better that it's quality. On Facebook, I have to see the trending shares of tons of random friends and family, and we all know how that goes.

Nuzzel was great before. Now it's absolutely fantastic. A must-use app for me. Congratulations and thanks to the entire Nuzzel team…

Aargh! Twitter bought Nuzzel and shut it down. Recommendations for a replacement?

@hoottech Tried mailbrew newslit tweetshelf. None hit the mark though.
@ChuckReynolds

I love nuzzel, but really wish I could view it from an arbitrary twittier account perspective, rather than only users who have signed up for nuzzel. Anywho, this is a wondrous app for those of us out there without a following.
