Happening to me every day: Seeing intereting articles and bookmarking them all the time, but I never actually find the time to read them. My collection of links tagged "temp" is ever growing. Can I consider myself happy of not yet having discovered podcasting and the "most popular" listing on del.icio.us? I will definitely check out the link above!

That pushes the items even higher on the popular list. What if there was a universal tag (maybe <code>system:unread</code>) or a checkbox so that you could indicate that it looks interesting but you haven't read it yet. Then those could be filtered out of the popularity scoring, leaving the truly interesting items at the top of the popular list but still collecting intriguing resources.
