I'm not sure if there will ever be a silver bullet. The answer is find some balance between your personal blogroll and the whole blogging community. We address this in several ways using general tags to categorize your content, system tags to maintain a moderate list of good blogs and partner tags for blogging communities. You can choose a combination of any of these to optimize what you want to show on your blog. Rather than take up too much space on Mark's blog, you'll find a more detailed explanation in our FAQ section on our site. The question on quality is a great one.

First look at the site suggests that it will list out latest blog entries for a given/needed tag/category from the list of blogs added in its list. SO, if every blogger goes there and add their blog, the js box shows latest from all these blogs. Is there a way other bloggers rate any of them as good. I mean, how the filtering of good from not so good blogs happen? I use a RSS feed digest that mixes blog feeds from my blogroll and show the latest stories on the toolbar. But only problem is that, I had to manually find fresh and good content on the huge blogosphere and add it myself if I like it. I do not understand how this tool can promote only good blogs?
