You can go to Bloomberg, Reuters, WSJ, FT and hit a page with the most-read stories, but now everyone shares everything on social networks and blogs, so we can try to make one page with the most popular news across all sites and blogs - find the top people who share news, and combine algorithmic, professional, and crowdsourced curation to make the best front page across financial media.
StreetEYE is more like a mashup of HN, Techmeme, Google News, Flipboard, Buzzfeed.
For now, no comments or submissions to avoid spam, but will add them.
A longer manifesto here - http://blog.streeteye.com/blog/2013/10/the-streeteye-manifesto/
Been around for a couple of years in various iterations, has a bit of traction among financial journos/twitterati.
Never submitted before because the typical HN reader is not the target, but just did a relaunch and there was a lot of interest in this thread where it was mentioned - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6844565

Would love to hear feedback, suggestions, any issues let me know! Be gentle, still MVP/POC.
Platform is Django on back end, Bootstrap + crude jQuery on front end. It's not an x86 emulator/Riemann hypothesis solver in Javascript/Haskell but it's been a fun project and I hope people find it useful.
If it has product/market fit, would look to build a team, do a startup accelerator.
