In there own words:

Comunitee.com is the first social news network that reinvents the way users discover and share news online, on mobile devices and tablets. Wake up in the morning and see what your friends are reading, earn badges for becoming an expert in your “Comunitee,” and discover the stories that you and your friends are interested in, all in one place!

Comunitee learns what you like and automatically shares it with your friends and followers. There’s no need to connect your Facebook or Twitter accounts or click Follow, Tweet, Like, and Share for every story you find interesting. Comunitee does all the work behind the scenes and delivers you the most relevant, up-to-date news. Oh yeah, we don’t choose your news topics for you, your news is always your news.

Comunitee News is different for each user based on who you include in your “Comunitee.” You can have a close friend, a coworker or another user from across the country that shares the same love of your favorite celebrities, sports teams or political party.

Comunitee’s organic way of sharing news stories within your “Comunitee” allows for an amazing serendipitous experience. Discovering and discussing new topics is just one of the ways Comunitee will change the way you consume your daily news.

Zack’s take:

So here’s what I think. It’s a cool idea to know what news your friends are reading and share with them what you are reading without the hassle of clicking on social bookmarking buttons. Comunitee made this as simple as it could possibly be. Easy sign-up process, pick your categories (everyone knows how to do that even if they don’t understand why they are doing it) and you are in. Once you are done with registration, then the problem arises…invite your friends. I can just picture my mother asking me…what’s this thing I got on my facebook that you sent. That’s a step I just need to skip altogether but that renders this idea dead. I love the premise just can’t see it going very smoothly. Another issue I had was looking at the news itself within Comunitee, I saw a bunch of repeated headlines. Even though I don’t know if it will take off, overall I give this site a good score because it’s a great new idea.

Mike’s take:

Let’s start with the good. I like the design and love the video on the home page that explains what they offer. The website is easy to use and very simple. The idea itself is really cool. The only issue I see is that my interests do differ a lot from my friends. I would not like them to be subscribed to my news stories. Only a few. I really do want to try it out and see if my opinion changes a little bit.
