Former Yahoo president launches social news-oriented app Raftr

Raftr is a place for ongoing conversations about specific topics like sports, news, and entertainment, Decker says.
The app itself is pretty straightforward to set up and get into. It is currently available for iOS only, and once you install it on your device, you'll be asked to log in with your name and phone number. After that, all you have to do is pick a handful of topics you're interested in — all of them available in a staff-curated list — and you'll be able to see what other participants are posting. You can engage engage in conversations with others sharing the same interests as you, or be a silent observer, just like on an online forum.
As can be expected, you also get your own feed in Rafter – an aggregator for all the updates on your topics of interest. But beyond that and separate discussions, there are also some specific features for live events. For example, if there's a football game between your favorite team and their arch rivals going on, you can join in a live chat-room like discussion with other fans.
