Seems like a cool concept...it lets you pick what sort of emotion you want to feel, and then selects from its vast array of links to provide you with suitable news. I picked "I want to feel 'Most happy' from the last 'day' in category 'Animals'" and got a couple stories on saving animal shelter pets.
The default seems to be "most angering" which I guess has its place, though personally, I find a lot of typical TV news these days to fit that category quite well.
I suppose the site is limited by the range of user-provided links that it has at any moment, but that is not so unusual these days, in the world of wikipedia.org, yelp.com and so on.
The site has some roughness to work out in terms of navigation and overall functionality but I assume that will happen in time. One very minor peeve, when you click to register and it asks for your info to contact them, it says Name, Street, Suburb, State...A person i oh, I don' t know, a major municipality such as Chicago might take offense to the 'suburb' thing....
Still, seems like a cool concept, hope it takes off well.....
