We’ve just pushed out a number of small upgrades to the site that should make browsing just a bit more enjoyable:

Popular This Week (By Category): Our “Popular This Week” section (the sidebar of just about every page on the site) now updates per-category. So, if you’re in “Upcoming > Desktop,” your sidebar will show “Popular This Week in Desktop,” where you’ll see the top item this week was a piece from Lifehacker called “Prevent Windows from Making Copies When Control-Clicking.” This should be a nice feature for catching you up on the news if you do something crazy that keeps you away from ReadBurner for a few days, like say, go on vacation.

Paging: This is really just some catch-up, but we’ve now got paging for sources, authors, and an individual user’s shared items. Thus you can see how many shares have been made on every story published on Download Squad, written by Sarah Perez, or shared by Corvida, since we launched.

Integrated Comments: With all of the buzz about Disqus over the weekend, what better a time to use their API to integrate recent comments from ReadBurner into our sidebar? Our goal by doing so is to bring more people into some of the conversations that are taking place on ReadBurner and fostering greater community.

You should also notice the site running a bit faster, plus some ongoing tweaks to our algorithms to improve the quality and accuracy of our categorization and relations between items. Let us know if you have any feedback, and stay tuned for some more exciting news later this week.
