Sort by MAGIC
The Google Reader team added a new feature last week that allows you to sort feed items “by magic.”
It’s the only way I’ve been browsing my “All Items” feed for the past week, it’s phenomenal. It ranks items you’ll like based on your previous “likes” and items you’ve shared. It’ll get more accurate over time, too. I don’t know if it factors the item’s age into its rank, but hopefully it sorta ignores that and ranks anything that remains unread. I tend to ignore my feeds for days in a row, so the unread items pile up fast. I wouldn’t want to miss anything that Reader claims I’d love just ‘cause it’s old.
