So what you're REALLY providing isn't a quote-aggregation service, but rather an intelligent method of showing people content from around the internet based on how much they like a topic.

It's like Pandora but for news.

EDIT: community-powered Pandora but for news?

community-powered Pandora but for news = reddit...?

Reddit -> little boxes with items in them. Choose your box

QF -> one big box. Each item is highly-tagged. System chooses combination of tags based on your previous behavior

--Also--

Reddit -> Consume based on community score and titles (which can both be wildly gamed)

QF -> Consume based on previewing a piece of the material

Yes. Exactly. The quote gives them a sample of the target material so they can decide whether to take time to consume the whole thing.

Then you shouldn't be focusing on the quote itself. The quote is just an efficient preview of the material.

Focus on accurately giving people news they want, and make THAT the selling point.

I'd pay for something like this.
