Programming

I think this is brilliant but not what they're looking for. You should absolutely spread this idea around if you're not willing to get a group together to implement it.

In my dreams I’d also like to see separate drop downs for timespan and criteria. They could even have options referring to different time dropoff curves. Then the traditional past day, past week, etc would effectively be flat.

EDIT: I implore you to make the pitch though. I am desperately waiting for someone to make an honest attempt at a nonpredatory content algorithm.
