This is actually what Particls.com does. It is not so much about your friends and peers though, more about your ‘Attention Profile’.

It ranks each item in your feeds against how personally relevant it is to you – and displays it in an appropriate way.

People can write adapters to display the information in all sorts of ways – the bundled styles are a news ticker and popup alerts.

I am thinking;

1) Syndicate profiles i.e. Twitter, MyBlogLog, LinkedIn, MySpace, Facebook, onto a singular social network site quickly and efficiently for identification purposes or simply create a new basic profile and provide url to distribute.

2) Create wordpress, blogger, myspace, plugins and widgets however the browser plugin is best suited initially. This plugin works similar to ‘twit this’ (twitter) and stumbleupon to give it a rating. When you attempt to rate the blog post it requires a login and a ‘network’ to submit it to, these networks are made up of friends based on categories, politics, news, tech, etc. So it is similar to digg but not for public review.

3) Once submitted a bot can parse the RSS for the post (if not done so) can send these feeds to an aggregator.

Am I any close to understanding?

I created the sociofeed app for Joomla and working or Feederator now that will create content for your site and your RSS feeds using keywords, but has a bit of a twist; so I am familiar about RSS feeds, but not could this one fully.

I was referring to a build up of blog posts after being negligent for a few days, and a similar concept:

“I really wanted a Google Reader plug-in (or new RSS reader altogether) that helped me prioritize my unread posts. Maybe i give a thumbs up/down to posts as i read them all (when i have time), then, over time, the plug in can ‘prioritize’ unread posts for me based on other users’ preferrences. I want to know which posts readers liked who 1) read the same blogs that i do and 2) like/dislike the same individual posts that i do. Then i can read from the top (based on priority) and at some point when i get bored/run out of time, i can set all posts below a certain priority to ‘read’ and be done with them. At least there is some basis to elimiate posts.

The next step would be to limit the people who can influence my ‘prioritization’ to friends or 2nd degree network (friends-of-friends), 3rd degree, etc.”

Obviously, it’s a bit of hack for the idea as a whole, but Google is one step away from making it awesome. Hence, I didn’t want to take them on considering I’ve gotten too much other stuff on the plate. I hope what you noted that your friend is working on is more than a feature.
