Filters Feeds by Popularity in Google Reader [Featured Firefox
Extension] via Lifehacker by Kevin Purdy on 7/11/08
Windows/Mac/Linux (Firefox): AideRSS, an RSS feed popularity filter
that Adam had a few bones to pick with, has released a free Firefox
extension that integrates its popularity rankings into Google Reader.
AideRSS says it uses the number of comments, Google backlinks,
bookmarks on social sites like Digg, reddit, and del.icio.us, and more
data to determine a PostRank, which it plugs next to each feed item and
offers as a drop-down filter. While it’s obviously going to bias your
reading against fresher posts that haven’t had time to make their mark,
it might be helpful to anyone trying to cut down on RSS clutter. For
their next version, let’s hope for an options dialogue to remove that
PostRank number from every single post, as the filtering bar may be
more useful to most users. AideRSS is a free download, works wherever
Firefox does.
