I've seen plenty of Instagram photos I've found as "pretty". Personally, I think the filters can be annoying, though...but it seems as if most people enjoy them.

I'm unclear on what their API would allow, but I think that there is a huge opportunity to present the important stuff on Facebook to users in a cleaner, more elegant way...we've seen so many attempts at cleaning up the inbox; I'd be interested to see someone focus on the News Feed.

It would be a credit card people apply for and can opt-in to using on these offers on Facebook (and throughout Facebook's off-site ad network, if they choose to do that.)

I'm very interested to see what happens with this. I think they've made all the right moves so far since the acquisition and I love the transparency. They're going to try to stay true to their roots while also becoming "fast and thin", in their words.

It also makes a ton of sense to have the algorithm factor in tweets, FB shares, and diggs. Nice. I don't know if it'll ultimately work, but it looks like a good start.

If you decide to do it, please post to HN...would love to take a look.

Yeah, the ads are definitely becoming more noticeable and there's usually one at the top of my News Feed most times I log on. I've always laughed at the people who hate Facebook changes and becoming used to it literally days later, but I think the product quality is seriously deteriorating...and that's not even mentioning their mobile offering.

Memorial Day is a day for remembering men and women who died while serving the country in the armed forces. It has nothing to do with Bradley Manning.

edited to address comment below - I know what you're saying, and those people absolutely sacrificed...but that's what Veteran's Day is for, as I understand it.

Most schools have websites with faculty emails listed... it's very easy to look them up. I like the idea for this site - but would love to see a bigger mechanism for actually getting the messages to the teachers.

My startup is called ScoopStream. It's a transient social network that brings together communities based on shared interests.

It's very focused - users may only be checked-in to one community at a time. For example: when the Bruins were making their run through the NHL playoffs, so many of my friends would post on Facebook after a goal, a win, a loss, whatever.

The thing is, not everyone on Facebook is a Bruins fan. On ScoopStream, people watching the game could check-in to the "Bruins" community, communicate with other fans (and see specifically what their friends are saying) and then check-in somewhere else.

This is V1 - have a bunch of ideas where to go with it, but we got a bunch of feedback on different concept and went through a few iterations before settling on this.
