Cue “The Final Countdown.”

Google Reader has a new “Sort by magic” feature:

In fact, you can rank any feed or folder by “magic” and we’ll do our best to sort them in the most relevant and interesting order. Just click the Feed or Folder Settings menu and choose Sort by magic. Try clicking the like button on things you think are important or enjoy reading, and we’ll learn to put items like that first.

Your personalized ranking is automatically generated. It takes into account your past reading behavior (including liking and starring), and global signals.

So far, so good, although I’m pretty ruthless about pruning blogs I find uninteresting. More research will be necessary.
