It is interesting how your perception of new technology can vastly depend on how you have interacted with them, and how the developers have responded.
Unfortunately in the case of the recently launched niche tracking startup, "rank" has multiple definitions, including one items position related to another based upon a particular rating, or a rather offensive smell.
At its core, my first impression of SocialRank niche websites was that it was little more than a Wordpress splog scraping my content based upon keywords used and giving some kind of relevant or irrelevant ranking based upon some internal algorithm.
It is still my content
