PostRanks: website vs. widget
From AideRSS Blog, 2 days ago,
0 comments 
Since we launched the new Top Posts Widget, one question that’s come up a few times has been about PostRank scores for posts on the website as opposed to PostRank scores in the widget. Sometimes the same post will show two slightly different scores.
As far as our user community understands, PostRank is PostRank, so the [...]

Just before the holidays here at the Aideplex, we bid adieu to our co-ops Stephen and Trevor. However, we haven’t let their chairs grow cold, as yesterday we welcomed Josh and Thomas into the fold!
Thomas is no stranger to our ranks, as this is his second co-op term with the company. In fact, after we [...]

Mozilla Labs Ubiquity project integrates PostRank
From AideRSS Blog, 7 days ago,

The Ubiquity team at Mozilla recently launched a new homepage for their project which features a really interesting integration of Yahoo Pipes and PostRank API to identify the most influential posts. Instead of using a numeric score, the engagement of the story is visualized as an underline with the help of color and length - [...]

Carol was interviewed on BNN yesterday about what we do and where we’re headed in the future. Some excellent exposure for us!
The Close: The Latest Technology in Online Knowledge Management
Jacqui Murphy from Tech Capital was on BNN a couple of weeks ago talking about AideRSS and Overlay.TV (another company in Tech Capital’s portfolio) as well.

Firefox and Google Reader fixes and improvements
From AideRSS Blog, 18 days ago,
0 comments
The devs did a passel o’ work recently on our PostRank extensions for Google Reader and Firefox.
The coolest improvement is that Google Reader with the PostRank extension installed should be way faster now. (In the past it would get progressively slower on big lists.)
Additionally, we’ve fixed the issue where folks with the extensions installed [...]

AideRSS expands social engagement measurement, closes second round of funding
From AideRSS Blog, 28 days ago,

In 2007, we set out to conquer information overload. And we think we’ve done a pretty good job of helping people out with that. Never ones to rest on our laurels, however, we have grander plans in mind going forward. Bigger problems to tackle, more of the web to make sense of, more social engagement [...]

PostRank selected as Top 10 RSS and Syndication Product of 2008
From AideRSS Blog, 28 days ago,

A few of the things that amazed me when I started working for AideRSS was that such a young company already had an established community, extensive publishing coverage, and several passionate champions. It not only made my job easier; it also pointed to the fact that in building on our core idea, we are, as [...]

PostRank Google Reader Extension and Read It Later compatibility
From AideRSS Blog, 1 month ago,
0 comments
We noticed recently that when folks (including ourselves) had both our PostRank Google Reader Extension and Read It Later installed (and we totally recommend both), they didn’t play well together in Google Reader. (Thanks to the other people who alerted us to this as well!)
Basically, the Read It Later checkmark sat on the PostRank score’s [...]

We’ve beefed up the Getting Started section
From AideRSS Blog, 1 month ago,

A request we received from a few folks after launching the new site was for tutorials in non-video format. Some people don’t like video, some people can’t view it (like when at work), etc.
We thought it was a great idea, and so sallied forth and took a LOT of screen shots.
The result our [...]

One of Dave’s goals is to shine the spotlight into the corners of the internets a bit, and see who some of the more [...]

One thing I hate doing is signing up for new accounts. You may have felt this way before, too. You come to a new site for the first time and want to check out what they do and if it can help you. Before you get too far you’re redirected to a page, not with [...]

Louis Gray was kind enough to write a post about our new site when we launched in late October, and, as is always welcome, it was a great source of exposure and traffic for us.
One of the comments added to that post was from Mr. Gentry, who isn’t really a fan of ours. Which is [...]

PostRank Firefox extension reviews — we need your help!
From AideRSS Blog, 1 month ago,

Our recently released PostRank Firefox extension is available on the Mozilla Add-ons site, in addition to our own.
However, the extension is still new and a bit untested by the masses, so it’s in the “Experimental” section. That’s where you come in!
To get the extension moved into tried-and-true general circulation, we need reviews for it. Ideally [...]
