aideRSS: A Waterloo start-up worth watching

Forget the Starbucks popping up all over and the yuppiefied uptown core of the city, if you are looking for signs that Waterloo has a potential to really take off in the world of innovate web application development aideRSS is one of them. This site is just cool and relatively simple in its concept from what I can tell. It takes all your RSS feeds, ranks them based on the community reaction to the post, and gives you an optimized feed option so you only see what is worth reading in the eyes of the larger community. It seems to be a little like Technorati (or maybe a lot) but focused on your specific RSS feeds not just your blog.
The Techcrunch community seems to have a lot of positive things to say about it as well. I really hope these guys can make it out to the next BarCampWaterloo.
