News.me Is Building A News Social Network Within Its New iPhone App

News.me, the news service developed in The New York Times' R&D labs and incubated at betaworks, is launching its iPhone app today. A bit unusually, the part of the app that you'll use first may actually be the least interesting. In some ways, the new app is just a redesign of what News.me was already offering through its iPad and email products ? a list of news stories, pulled from your Facebook and Twitter streams, then curated based on signals from Twitter and bit.ly, and presented with the context of the initial tweet or Facebook comment.
