I've given the aggregator a concept of whuffie. I can give any item that has been aggregated a thumbs up or thumbs down, increasing or decreasing the item and site's wuffie. I sort the sites out as I display them by their whuffie. It is a simplistic way of keeping the sites I'm interested in at the top of the list. I'd like to wire in a Bayesian classifier too, and see if that helps me get the items I like to the top.

Yay, an aggregator with whuffie-tech! This is very similar to what I was doing with\nAmphetaOutlines for AmphetaDesk - when I click on an item from a channel, I increment\na counter for that channel. And, when I sort channels for display, I use that count as\na factor in the sort.
\n\n\n\n\n\n

And, of course, I want to use Bayesian filtering to see what I do want.

What would really be whuffie-riffic about aggregators that support this kind of\nthumbs-up/down tracking, would be to have some P2P sharing of these decisions\nto come up with something actually more like whuffie. That is, I would like\nto see how much right-handed whuffie some item has gotten, and possibly\nbubblesort up or visually tag items I've yet to read based on that whuffie.\nRight-handed whuffie being, of course, the accumulation of whuffie an item\nhas be given by authors to whom I've given lots of whuffie.
