An RSS reader ranks articles and RSS feeds based on monitoring user interactions with each article. In an enterprise version, ranking can reflect the interactions of multiple users with RSS feeds and articles. Monitored user interactions can include reading an article, tagging, forwarding, emailing and the like.
