Sriracha Hot Sauce Catches Fire, Yet ‘There’s Only One Rooster’ – Businessweek: “I make sauce good enough for the rich man that the poor man can still afford.”

Had this for the first time a few weeks back (Believe it was on the day of the final NFL football game). Hot stuff.
Anarchy in the App Store – Businessweek:
“how often a downloaded app gets used, the leader board might more accurately reflect popularity, says Craig Palli, a Fiksu vice president.”
Interesting idea to create a more relevant ranking system. What are people downloading and how often are they using it? This could be a problem for apps that are not used frequently. I’m thinking of the app Pages, an app from Apple. I have it, but don’t use it often.
Was just reading a post on Tech Crunch about the new Business Week iPad app. One of the complaints was that the content of the app is updated once per week, just like a real magazine.
IDEA
Post all the writings of their talent in the app as it is completed. Then, based on the user data and feedback from the users of the iPad app, adjust what stories are featured in the magazine. This could be done with the top five articles that readers have rated highest. This could be highlighted in a page that explains what the stories are and where readers can find them in the magazine. Magazine readers may find this curation by the crowd to be of considerable value.
Notes
The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times have a similar feature in what published articles were most emailed, read or shared. Example links are below.
