As a learner, I subscribed many blogs with Google Reader to catch up  
on news in Rails community, but the never-stop message flow  
overwhelmed me soon. The feature I really want is to discover what’s  
new and what’s hot with ease. Twitter might be a good choice, but for  
me, the information gathered there conveys too much noise, not  
mentioned that the site has been banned in China, where I’m living my  
whole life. So it could be better to create my special service to  
fulfill my own needs.

Instead of building another general purpose online feed reader–there  
are too many there–I want it to be as simple as possible. It fetches  
feeds regularly for displaying links, and counts views for each  
article for sorting by popularity, that’s it.

Now [http://railsposts.com](http://railsposts.com) is up and running, you can take a try. It’s  
a beta release, and some useful advanced features (such as searching)  
are planned but not implemented yet. Furthermore, the feed listing  
there is by no means complete, it’s for testing only. If your favorite  
feeds are not included, tell me or just wait, since I’m considering  
adding a form for submitting reader’s choice. Hope you’ll like it.

Suggestions are welcome. Thank you.
