yeah exactly iam bit worried as i am relying on friendfeed platform .As they are acquired by Facebook i donot for how much time will they support their API.

For scoring/shares i used the following simple algorithm like

1)Number of people shared this link

2)Blog popularity (i.e) If the blog is popular more shares has to happen for it to appear on appropriate topic popular page.

Any other ideas on improving the algorithm?

That sounds great as a first cut.

At VictusMedia we used Topsy as a measure of recent trending links related to categories.
