Just curious, how many are willing to pay in times of free apps and sites like Flipboard, Pulse, Taptu, Utopic.me, XYDO etc?

I'd pay to have an easy to ingest river of what my friends have in their stream. When i use flipboard, I see a few too many articles that I've already looked at on my other devices.

BTW - I'd like to see the idea of reading my friends river of stories implemented with instapaper.

Nice idea, keen to see how this catches on. The idea of charging money for people's twitter feeds (which is free) is one that might throw people off though.

Interesting story for those of you on HN who have seen my startup (NewsCred) go through a bunch of pivots. We are now licensing and powering a lot of the premium content on the app!
