Personalized News

The social news discovery app Trove sounds a lot like Mark Potts' Newspeg idea. It seems they both have the right idea in creating a social media based outlet for news. They share the same goal to "reduce signal noise and help readers find all the stories they care about." Connecting people who share similar interests is a great idea. I think these companies are really onto something; not only are they allowing a shared experience with users, but they are building a strong customer base while they're at it. But if there are multiple apps and sites like Trove or Newspeg out there, which one(s) will be able to rise above the others?
