PRIORITIZING BLOG ENTRIES

You should check out Weblog posts ranked by popularity on Phil Ringalda's blog.

It seems to me that using Technorati or Google's API you should be able to determine the popularity of each of your blog posts, and list the top X of them.

Btw, I saw your post on GGSays earlier, and I like the priority issue. I've been reading that blog for a bit, and am somewhat annoyed when his comment is what he had for breakfast or something similar.

I've been doing an 'editor's picks' at the top of J-Log for a while. I'm also playing around with a 'blog customization' thingy My J-Log that will let users help decide how the content is provided to them.

btw, nice site. found you thru blogshares.

Prioritisation is based on some sort of indication of a *value* judgement. I've um-d and ah-d a bit about this a bit on my blog in a posting called Web Logs: Dynamics and Value, but I'm sure that there's a lot more to it than just this. I guess the easiest way to get a quick and dirty view is to have some form of recommender system (Rate this page), but it would be great if referrer logs could be exploited to create some sort of Amazon-style: "people who liked this blog also liked..." in keeping with blogging's network roots.

Mark, great post on "Web Logs: Dynamics and Value". There are a lot of interesting questions surrounding value, trust, reputation, linking, and discussion...
