Too Many Blogs to Read, Get the most active content with AideRSS

Just got to know this morning about this service called aideRSS (via ReadWriteWeb). I follow about 500 feeds a day (used to have about a 1000 couple of months back, manage to trim it down to 500). 500 is still an overwhelming number. I was looking for a way to pick up the most talked about posts - posts with the most comments, links etc. aideRSS does precisely that.

You feed it your OPML file. OPML is a list of blogs you subscribe too. Most RSS readers would let you export OPML.

And it does some analysis on the individual posts inside of the blogs and gets you a list of posts. You can sort the result according to their “Postrank” - a ranking algorithm developed by AideRSS. A high “Postrank” means that a lot more people are commenting on or linking to the post.

aideRSS also gives you a filtered feed that shows you only the posts that have a higher Postrank.
