its a problem I've thought about too. its a big problem on twitter.

some people post rarely, and they often have very high quality well thought out posts. others are media outlets or blabber mouths.

you can balance them by presenting a feed of what is new, moving each item through the "what's new" section at a speed relative to that feed's post frequency.

so a feed that posts rarely would have its new items persist in the new area for a longer time.

a feed that posts 20 times a day would move its posts through the new area each day.

I have thousands of subscriptions. I'm not going to take the time to judge and separate them. this is a job for a computer.
