I was actually thinking of making a predictive model which would rate the new stories automatically. There are a lot of features that can be used in learning the prediction model: text length, content, etc. I already have the infrastructure more or less ready: <a href="http://www.wingify.com/contextsense/" rel="nofollow">http://www.wingify.com/contextsense/</a><p>In my opinion automatically rating posts will provide a useful filter to find stories that the community may have missed due to timezone/title issues.<p>What do you think about the idea?
