Hey I am Sam, I built Stitch News with my friend Phil at Make School. We are trying to making it easier to keep track of all the important information we read everyday and also make it easier to share that information. Let me know if you have any feedback, questions, or ideas. Thank you for checking it out!
The logo makes me think of Greece's flag. Good/Bad take that as you will. :)
Hey Sam, this is Mike, the founder at Diffbot, the tech that powers Instapaper. Stitch looks great, and we'd love to help out. Send us a PM.

Ugh ;) Looks like the probable use of this will be to allow news items to propagate based on how much sloppily- or poorly-written, inaccurate, or ambiguous verbiage there is buried down in the bottom. This is always the problem with poorly-written, sexed-up headlines, but at least the reporter isn't always writing those himself. Down in the article is where the sensationalist-but-crappy writing/reporting is likely to dwell.
The facebook login is a turn off for me. I do like the idea of sharing sections of text tough, that's a new one on me.

I couldn't find a good way to read news so I made my own (and tidied it up a bit to share with friends).

-I like to mark things as read. -sync reading progress on mobile & laptop -keep things minimal.
