3. It might be good to keep the tilted pics in the slideshow, and straight pictures (or actual text) elsewhere. Or maybe tilted everywhere! I can tell you what bothers me, but what really matters is how many clickthroughs you get, right?
7. IMO, it shouldn't be social (how would it be?) so no usernames are necessary, but I'm probably not your average user. Nor have I ever created an online service/business, so keep that in mind when following my advice.
9. I don't know about bothered, since I have cookies enabled for everything else. It'd be less weird if you made it clear the cookie didn't track me across other sites,
10. No, just want to make sure you're thinking about it before possibly getting attached to a service that might not survive (e.g. you get bought and the buyer shuts it down). If I found the service useful (and especially if I were a CEO/executive, I think), I would love to pay for it, either a 1-time fee (like I did with Pinboard.in), or yearly subscription. Crazy idea: maybe you could license the software to news sites so they can have built-in highlighting with the click of a link (similar to 'print-friendly' links every article has)
My RSS reader has few enough feeds that I've been able to read them all, but I've been careful to only add feeds that I could keep up with (with keenskim, that might change). Other than that, I stick to the top of HN.

I'm glad I can help.
