So which do you think will be more valuable?

A) Technorati’s generic authority slider (Scoble’s coverage | Technorati)

B) Findory’s personal authority recommendations (Barnett’s coverage | Findory)

I personally like Findory’s system better. It seems to be based on content, not how many people wrote about what you’re reading.

Findory – it’s more transparent. But overall I think authority should pivot on individual posts rather than an entire feed.

I wonder how we can achieve that?
