OurSignal is the latest site from the makers of CushyCMS, designed to bring you the freshest and most popular news from across the Web. It's a mashup of several social bookmarking sites focused on news, including reddit, digg, delicious and hackernews.
While OurSignal could be considered to be in the same arena as PopURLs, or even Original Signal, it's the visual implementation of OurSignal that makes this site stand out. All of the stories presented on OurSignal are placed in boxes, which are made more noticeable based on size and color. The larger the box, the more relative votes that particular story received. The warmer the color, the fresher the story is (a cooling color represents a cooling story).
While this concept might sound good in theory, the actual OurSignal site is a bit cluttered for my liking. It's an overwhelming collection of varied-size text, boxes, and colors. The less popular news stories have very tiny boxes, and the text is impossible to read. Thankfully OurSignal enables a scroll-over preview of the news story's original source, and this preview also includes the link, the social bookmaking news source, and the velocity of the story according to OurSignal. The OurSignal sources are refreshed every 15 minutes, which is typical of similar sites.
