    i don't remember the "global post" mixing feature. did it show new global posts, or highly ranked global posts?

I think it was a mixture of both. It basically spliced your front page with a global front page.

I have been thinking on this, and I am considering removing the 9 divisions of the global feed, and just having one global feed. Then your feed and the global feed can both be sorted by activity (the current ranking algo) and time. Thus, there would be two feeds, each which could be sorted by two ways.

I think the global feed may exclude anything in your feed. But I am not sure about that.

If this didn't prove sufficient, we could always add a new sort, something like 'rising'.
