PostRank-rank your feeds

Here's a guest post by Melanie Baker from AideRSS about their newest tool, PostRank. (Contact Melanie via email, Twitter, or at Get Satisfaction.) I explain how PostRank works, what features it offers, etc. pretty regularly, and I've learned that the "click here, type there" part isn't what's really important to the folks I'm talking to. Typically, [...]
