Planet voting

Comments[0] by Dave in Blogging
Sam Ruby has been writing about using a planet-style aggregator to create a feed of what's hot among a community of bloggers (see MeMeme and MeMeme 2.0) -- not the big wide noisy blogosphere. Like meme-trackers TechMeme and TailRank, Sam's code is based on the idea that an entry that mentions a link is a vote for that link, but unlike those sites only blogs included one planet can cast votes. Cool idea and it seems to produce good results. I'll have to consider it for the next rev of PlanetTool (the RSS and Atom in Action example (one of the Blogapps) that I use to generate my Triangle Bloggers site).
