Hmm nice idea. Could be useful to keep your eye on some upcoming stuff. I see that news are "Trending" and "Recent" - how do you determine which news articles are trending?

Please don't do this here.

We want people to vote for or comment on a story because they personally find it intellectually interesting, not because they or a friend have something to promote.

Thank you for your feedback. Trending news articles are actually those which have gained the most attention on social networks over the past few days. Our crawlers checking each article url and measuring how it is popular in social networks + how many clicks received on waitfeed.
