Now that the social network is changing what shows up in your feed, you’ll have to go elsewhere for current news.
I’ll particularly agree with how good I find Nuzzel to be, though I will say that I do take heavy advantage of a variety of highly curated Twitter lists which I’m sure helps the algorithm for the quality of news I get back out of the system.
I would prefer more transparency about how those that use algorithms are doing so.
Some of these don’t amount to much more than glorified RSS feed readers, and I’m shocked that the state of the art of the area isn’t much further along than it was a decade ago.
