Best Idea for RSS - But why do I have to install it?

FeedAFever is one of the best ideas I've seen so far for RSS reading.  I am heavily into feeds, and am guilty of bringing up my feed reader at a stop light once or twice.  Consequently, I was excited to learn that a company finally has understood the pains of we at the heavy end of the RSS reading spectrum.  We do, in fact, get a little "guilty" as the site puts it when we have things we have not read yet.  This software seeks to address that, by analyzing the posts from selected feeds and comparing them to other blogs that you watch. The popular topics, bubble up, much like popurls.com, but they do so in your customized feed reader. 

Great idea - one that google reader should have adopted a long time ago - I'm not sure why they're so interested in showing you "who" liked a story (you can see other google reader people who clicked the like button), when they really should show you "how many" people liked a story.  Then I can drill down on who liked it  The frustrating part is that it's not SaaS. I have to find a server of my own and install it.  There's a reason Wordpress launched a service, ya know...
