There are also real affordance problems with getting news over stream-based social networks.

The in-stream experience is usually only a headline plus a link, and maybe a thumbnail image and a lede sentence or two. Not a lot of nuance or context.

But clicking the link is costly in terms of attention. It usually takes me out to a browser, maybe running into a paywall, and definitely requiring a lot more focus than anything else in my stream.
