The idea for the social sites is just to give an idea of how busy each place is so you can jump in if you're missing. For the others, it's just to give a bird's eye view of what's happening.
These are not meant to act like an RSS feed to each content, but rather display enough info so you can decide whether or not to visit each location or skip it.
i definitely love the idea of displaying activity as a generalized word rather than a number, mostly because i feel obligated to check updates if the number is anything but 0.
This looks like a really awesome app. Love that there aren't numbers as well and it looks simple considering all the things being communicated. Nice work. Is this going to be an actual product?

@Jim E Silverman Interesting observation, Jim. I wonder if I should consider a different layout for, say, a zero inbox.

It looks better than Metro, to be honest.

@Sarah Hicks Yes! It will be an actual product, but as a tool at my day job. More monitoring different types of sites, less ESPN scores :)
