Since the early days of FeedDemon, I heard Nick gripe about information overflow, and how he wasted time sifting through irrelevant stories.
I bumped into AideRSS, a feed reader that ranks posts and stories by the number of conversations. The idea is simple: count the number of links from Technorati, del.icio.us and the likes, and convert it to a rank relative to the rest of the posts from the same blog.
It might not sound very exciting, until you hit that spot of 100+ posts a day, then you’ll appreciate having a tiny robot filtering your news and giving you the relevant stories.
