New Features: RSS, Top 10, Editor Picks

I’ve been working on some new minor features here and there and did a roll out while I waited for stuff at work. Anyway, here’s what is new. First is the Top 10 links. Basically I came up with a way to determine the “top 10″ links in the system based on a variety of variables. I’m not going to go into specifics of what, but I’ll just say that it isn’t just click thrus and impressions. No, that would be too easy to game.

Editor Picks are just that, links our editor (and me) find particularily interesting/good/relevant/important that need some highlighting. The list is a “rotating” list, meaning that as editor picks are added the list gets recycled (on the home page). If a link is designated as an “editor pick” you’ll also see that in the link details page.

Lastly, and is related, I created RSS feeds for both, and a live bookmark function (for the Top 10 links) So, point your RSS news readers here and here.

Next up is to finish DiyShare and the extended link reporting functionality.
