Another way of filtering the RSS feeds

How about a feature in the aggregator where, for each item you read, you have the opportunity to click THUMBS UP or THUMBS DOWN for that post.

Then, based on those "ratings" the aggregator does some sort of Bayesian weighting of all the unread items in your feeds queue, and displays them sorted with the "most likely to be interesting" at the top of the list. Every time you read a post, and give it an UP or DOWN, the weightings and rankings are recalculated, and the unread list is displayed anew.

Just an idea.
