Yoro

Yoro is a news-driven, micro-social network. It keeps you updated with what's happening around you, helps you connect with friends, and makes news more meaningful

You get news by training Yoro via your swipes, so you are not bothered with irrelevant stuff. Uncluttered, without noise. You can also initiate conversations with your friends with "Pings", which then Yoro facilitates by providing relevant updates on those topics. Helps the conversation going. You also get to see what your friends are reading or sharing with "Posts", news and comments that can be shared to your network & expire in 24 hrs. A much better experience, because staying updated should not be a chore.
