(Your post title is my favourite riff on RSS to date... should get that on t-shirts...) :) For those who don't want to check out feeds one at a time on our site, the Google Reader extension brings all the PostRank functionality to users' existing feeds. And allows Feed-based ranking (comparing items against a site's own past history), as well as Thematic ranking (comparing items in a folder from all sources against each other's performance). (Users can, of course, filter their feeds at our site and subscribe to them in their readers, and can do OPML imports/exports from our site.) One other tech morsel for tracking performance over time is via the widget -- a good way to get an idea of what a site's best content (by audience engagement) has been, and how far apart in time that content has appeared. :) Re. the "secret sauce", that's exactly what we're aiming for with the release of the PostRank API. PS. Love your site template! Google Reader extension brings all the PostRank functionality to users' existing feeds.
