I don't know if you've heard of postrank.com, they are a VC funded Waterloo (local to me) startup that is doing amazing things with rating and sorting of content. Apart from all the amazing analytics they can do, the bread and butter for end users like us is that it can help us determine what is the best stuff to read, vs the stuff that's not very important.

I've got a plugin for my Google Reader that lets me select from Best, Great, and Good, to quickly filter the wheat from the chaff. They do a lot of amazing backend stuff to rate each article (views, comments, tweets, engagement). They are good enough to be selected to represent 1/3rd of the total score for the AdAge Power 150!

Check it out, you might find it really useful, I know I did!
