Finally, a news reading tool that's almost useful. AideRSS, which launches today, is a service that helps you to prioritize news feeds based on the amount of social activity around them. Using an algorithm called PostRank, which tracks the number of comments, Digg votes, del.icio.us bookmarks and more, it will process any feed you enter and spit out feeds of All Posts, Good Posts, Great Posts, Best Posts and the Top 20. The ranking is relative, not absolute: it doesn't matter that your latest post has less activity than Engadget's, but rather that your latest post has more activity compared to your previous posts. You can then subscribe to these feeds in an ordinary feedreader.
