Wanna build a "best of HN/insert-feed-here" daily feed? Or it exists?
I love HN but I don't have time to read the 1,000 new posts and thousands of awesome comments every day. I'd love to have a program that, say, every hour looks at the posts from the last X hours and selects the one that was commented on or retweeted (or most-something by whatever metric) and then posts that one post to an RSS feed/page/twitter. So I can just get the, say, 5 best posts per day. Or something like that. This system could be expandable to use for any RSS feed (i.e., I want to subscribe to, say, Andrew Warner's friggin' awesome twitter but he posts so much, I just want to see his best post per day!). I would love this system and I'd help build it, market it. We can open source it! Would this interest anyone? Or does anything like this exist? It would be a fun project! :) Thoughts? (I'm new here so I'm sorry if there are any problems with this post.)

Wow, all of those suggested URLs are awesome! Thank you!!! Do any of you know of something similar, but that can apply to other RSS/Twitter feeds other than HN??? Thank you!!
