Back in October, we listed the top feeds that Feed Crier was tracking. We intended to make that a monthly thing — we’d tally up the top feeds every month and post it here to the blog. We’ve discovered some interesting things from this process — mainly that we really suck at regularly scheduled blog posts. That October post was the only one we ever did.
So in the fine tradition of programmers building things because they’re too lazy to do them manually, I present to you our Top Feeds page. This is updated in real time, up to the second. If thousands of people suddenly start subscribing to this feed about early English literature, we’ll have that right there on the top feeds.
Are you the sort of lemming who wants to find out more about a Top Feed or maybe even subscribe to one? Each feed in the list has a preview link (like this one for Techcrunch) that will show you what sort of things you can expect from the feed. And each feed has a Subscribe button you can use to drop it right on your Feed Crier account.
While we were at it, we added an Up and Comers list to show you the hottest feeds in Feed Crier. These are the ones that are getting a lot of subscriptions recently. Could the next big thing be hidden in there?
With all the feeds, if you click through to the Preview page, you’ll see a list of related feeds. Our staff of well-educated, free-range chickens spends their day (or is that “spend their days”? I’m sure a grammar nut will straighten me out) at Feed Crier world HQ pouring over feeds, looking for similarities between feeds. And thanks to those fowl, we’re able to bring you lists of feeds that go great together, like chocolate and peanut butter. Go ahead, look your favorite feeds over and see if there’s anything you might like.
Where to go from here...

Awesome! I have been lemming, I mean waiting for this since October!
As for the second part of your post, I believe if you can’t post the top 10 regularly your myth about chickens just doesn’t hold much truth. The chicken-al-go-rhythm, that I would believe.
Great job on the improvements.

The chickens can pick the feeds, but they can’t post. Can’t type, you see. All they can do is make chicken scratches.

Want to give them some motivation to learn to type…just pull out a bottle of BBQ sauce.
