I commented to Steve in a email a while ago that Memeorandum didn't pick up my non-substantive post in response to his post; rather it picked up my very substantive post from last night about Tailrank.This happened even though my non-substantive post linked to Steve, but my substantitive one didn't.Memeorandum ingored the linked post and grabbed the other one, which is much more germane to the topic.I think this proves that your algorithm works.

(Few people need to read every last links.) Here's a comment I left on Steve's blog, which hasn't been moderated yet:---Hi Steve, glad you like the site. I should point out though that memeorandum almost does the opposite of what you want, by design. The software deliberately omits links to posts ("memes"?) that it discovers, in order to improve readability. The idea is that not every post that links to X deserves to be read as commentary on X.So in that regard, you seem to want a different kind of service, one that definitely has its value, but not one I aim to offer right now.
