TailRank

About TailRank

Tailrank is a memetracker which finds the hottest posts from thousands of blogs so you don't have to! We find the hottest stories by tracking conversations between blogs.

Tailrank takes into consideration linking behavior, the text of the post, links in common with other users, text relevance, weblog ranking, past performance, and various other factors for recommendations.

When a story appears on the front page we only show a summary but when viewed on individual permalink pages we try to show the full-content of the story (when available).

This functions similar to a normal RSS aggregator like Bloglines, Newsgator, or Rojo. We try to give the user control over how they want to view the story if the original blog is republishing the full content of their posts.

If you don't want Tailrank publishing your full-content RSS feed you simply revert back to using a summary RSS feed. Note that if you're upset that Tailrank is indexing your feed you should also be worried about all existing aggregators.

We may be shipping a feature which will allow us to individually toggle certain weblogs to always use a summary post even if they're publishing a full-text RSS feed. Right now though this is a low priority feature since not many people have requested it.
