Looking forward to V2 and, as I wrote, the continuing evolution of SocialRank. As for the links I found, some were from bloggers, some from media organizations and some from media: it’s as mixed as the sites I browse. (The links are in my Friday Squibs and the Friday Business Round-up post.)

The point I was trying to make is that for someone like me, who lives and breathes this stuff, no site that is going to find the 15 most interesting stories (or even 20 or 30) will hit all of the things that interest me, or be able to replace the 300+ feeds in my RSS reader.

That doesn’t make SocialRank any less valuable; it only less valuable to me.

Thanks for elaborating and continuing the conversation. I could love to find out the 11 stories you discovered today that you found interesting but that were not on SocialRank. Could you please send them to me. I am wondering if you are reading blogs that our algorithm has not yet discovered / considered or if these stories are coming out of the popular press. Either way, we are already working on V2 of SocialRank, which will be able to cast a far wider net to greatly expand our scope so that we further help readers discover today’s most interesting stories on the topic they care about.
