My Top Picks
| Tuesday, November 20th, 2007 | --jr |
You know, we're pretty good at making really handy stuff, and absolutely suck at telling anyone about them. Case in point, the Top Picks module shown to the right.
I discovered this handy little doo-dad while reading Matt McAlister's fine blog, and I have to admit, this is pretty darn cool. What it does is highlight posts that match whatever you're most likely to wind up reading. How does it figure that out? Well, when you read posts using My, it records the information and uses that as a metric when examining the blogs you've added. It works pretty darn well, because sure enough, I was interested in reading about a man-sized sea scorpion claw. (Note to self, after building time machine, skip the Devonian period.)
