If you measure out of everyone who sees a story, how many found it interesting, and use that as a ratio, you're measuring interest, not popularity. Its *popularity* that causes a "topic du jour" effect. Thats only true if you’re measuring the number of people as a whole.

I don't want the topic du jour - I want the really interesting "fact-et" that no-one else has latched onto. BTW, full respect for what you're doing. Finding that random factet takes me hours and you guys can make it automated for most. But I don't trust you to find the thing I'm looking for.

Note that the way we measure interesting is also independent of the number of readers, so you don't get a "Digg effect" of the masses boosting a story.

But surely, that would involve some sort of editorial judgement if you're to find interesting things that I haven't shown an interest in? In which case, how do you know what that is?

We're well aware of that, which is why what Thoof shows you is a mix of what you've shown you like, and what is interesting even if you haven't seen things like it yet. It doesn't have to be either/or. You mention sites like Thoof not gaining your trust because they only show you what you read.
