When Tailrank started doing what they do, I figured that was as good as it would get. However, I would rather my interests grow from what I read, rather than what others link to. In fact, I had a slightly-less ambitious project that required people to enter their feeds just in this manner to do the same thing. I really hope that I don't get the problem with Tailrank, in that it constantly feeds me the most popular stories of the day, but the ones I have absolutely no interest in.

The real issue here is striking a balance between what the community finds interesting and what you find interesting. Or, better yet, offering the best of both worlds. And I think this is what myFeedz is trying to achieve, to some extent. All the best, Marius Hello,

I see your point. The real issue here is striking a balance between what the community finds interesting and what you find interesting. Or, better yet, offering the best of both worlds. And I think this is what myFeedz is trying to achieve, to some extent.
