Oishii - a smarter zeitgeist check

Oishii "polls the del.icio.us front page every 5 minutes, and returns all sites bookmarked by at least 30 people."

This is cleverer than the typical "highschool popularity" algorithm. The traditional zeitgeist checks, like Daypop and Blogdex, only show the "most popular" stories. Oiishi shows "all sites bookmarked by at least 30 people" -- so it captures a more diverse range of shared content.

Personally I prefer http://populicio.us/newlinks48.html which has the most bookmarked (on del.icio.us) links in the past 48 or 24 hours.

Heh. That's exactly why I like Oishii better. It doesn't just show the most popular, but a more diverse range of popular content.
