Sonali:
Here's a really quick audit. I apologize for the terse comments, no offense meant. If you want a full-scale audit, or QA services, we can talk.
S/
Usability:
-- "
Add some news sources with the search form on the right. Click
to subscribe. " -- WHAT SEARCH FORM? There's a form that says "News Sources", but there isn't anything that says SEARCH.
-- There should be a way to DIRECTLY ENTER A FEED URL, not have to search for stuff.
-- When you email an item to a friend, there's no confirmation that it's been sent.
-- How do I follow someone?
-- Sources should be first, not Presets. And Tuners needs some help, in terms of explaining what it does.
-- When I click "Why was this chosen?" the window pops up, but doesn't go away
--"Drag this link to your toolbar to subscribe to feeds you encounter on the web:
http://melkjug.org/algebraist/jug/config?rnd=1237405911662 should give an error message, not start downloading JSON!

Hey you two try going down this set of super casual steps and answer these questions!
We are in the Alpha release of MELKJUG, an RSS aggregator here at TOPP. We would love it if you could take a few minutes of your time to walk through it with us for some informal testing.
*Demo: *
http://melkjug.org
*What I am looking for: *
1. What is this product? What does it do?
2. Try it - where do you stop?
3. Register and set up a space - was it smooth
4. Add feeds
5. Create some filters - tune then and tell us what your experience with that is.
6. Whatever else you would like to do - Import your feeds - add users etc.
7. If you have a strong opinion on graphics thats welcome too! :)
*What you will encounter: *
1. The site is slow
*Time:*
If you can please spend about 20mins playing with this if you can.
Looking for feedback on very basic user experience as well as any gems you come across! :) Feel free to be as harsh as possible - its a slow load - so look for a little "working" cloud on your bottom left.
Thanks a ton! Sonali
