I met the founder of Nuzzel Jonathan Abrams at an event in SF at their peak hype years ago and remember him being extremely arrogant and dismissive. Although I am not sure if that is at all correlated with this unfortunate outcome.

I follow a bunch of journalists that linked to stories they liked, then used nuzzle as a news aggregator, 9+ likes might be worth a read, 20+ likes something big going on etc.

Fannying around with Twitters advanced filters to replicate this feels like trying to get the much promised Flash level of interactivity out of HTML5.

I am sad Nuzzel is being shitcanned. Somthing good has been lost.

It's for myself finding interesting links. Not for building audience or anything. Probably not a target user of your startup.
