Once I have logged in (once) the site should firstly remember what type of content I am interested in most by monitoring what type of content I access most. UK Politics and the football and rugby sides I follow should be picked up almost instantaneously. Content with these elements would then be presented to me before anything else. The site should then be able to further aggregate the content I find most interesting by following the amount of time I stay on a particular page. Up to 10 seconds let's say, means I've skimmed it and didn't find it tremendously interesting. Anything over would usually indicate that I've read it in full, and thus it was relevant to me.
