If you want to find news articles worth reading, you could do a lot worse than to simply check out what your friends share on Twitter and Facebook. That isn't exactly a revelation. It's closer to a self-evident statement of fact.
Trouble is, finding those recommendations can be surprisingly tough. They're there in your social feeds, but submerged in a surging sea of selfies, jokes, personal reflections, viral lists, cat videos, and various other things which have nothing to do with current events. Blink, and something worthwhile may pass you by.
Clever use of technology, of course, might be able to help people discover articles on their social networks which are likely to pique their interest. It could be that a proprietary algorithm or a machine-learning breakthrough is called for--or at least a uniquely elegant user interface.
Or maybe the solution is obvious: Just get rid of everything else that isn't a recommendation of an article by a friend, and then put the most popular links at the top.
In other words, do what Nuzzel does.
The app from a startup of the same name, created by veteran entrepreneur Jonathan Abrams, isn't yet a breakout hit, even among web-savvy types. But its approach is resonating with some pretty influential people, such as GigaOm founder, venture capitalist, and Fast Company columnist Om Malik, who recently rhapsodized that Nuzzel "has made my life just better."
If Nuzzel has a secret sauce, it's that it has no secret sauce. All it does is show articles shared by your friends, sorted by popularity. The interface is utilitarian at best. But as it turns out, it's a powerful way to put worthwhile reading material right in front of you, where you cant miss it. The experience feels both personalized and serendipitous, and distinctly different from those of the bevy of mobile news apps which bring more technology and resources to the challenge, such as Circa, Inside, and Yahoo News Digest.
By filtering the din of Facebook and Twitter down to a manageable list of articles which people cared enough about to share, Nuzzel appeals to folks for whom the sheer volume of material on social networks is intimidating. But it also caters to digitally intrepid types who fret that they might fall behind no matter how voracious their consumption of social feeds.
For years I have wanted a DVR for Twitter for when I am away, says venture capitalist Chris Sacca, who was a Nuzzel addict before he became an investor in it, via his firm Lowercase Capital. What did I miss? What's the news today? What are the people I care about all talking about? No one does real-time better than Twitter. But, if I am offline for a few hours and then log back in, I am always curious what I missed."
Nuzzel is that DVR. And despite the fact that it hasnt even arrived on Android phones yet--it's currently an iPhone app and a website--it can be consumed in a variety of ways, making it an unexpectedly rich experience.

The News According To Nuzzel
Nearly three quarters of online adults in the U.S. use social media, and 53 percent of active social networkers follow a brand. So with social media becoming an ever-more-standard online marketing tool, its becoming harder for brands to stand out among their competitors. Good design, especially for smaller brands, is absolutely necessary.
Here are a few guidelines on making the most of the limited customizable options provided by social networking platforms. While this post focuses on Facebook and Twitter, which are the most widely used by brands and have some of the most customizable features, the same principles apply across platforms.
A good profile is simple and direct about what the company sells and its personality. Choose only images that identify the brand or tell its story.

Pay attention to about me fields. Be succinct but descriptive, and always include contact information to help potential customers find out how to learn more.
When creating cover and profile images for your social media platforms, be sure to keep them as visual as possible. Lots of wording can not only take away from the visual impact of the profile, it can also interfere with the content on the page.
For example Marvel, whose poorly executed text-heavy banner picture creates little impact.
Turning a recognizable logo into a profile picture may seem like a natural strategy, but many brands with text-heavy logos opt for something else.
