Create an algorithm that returns the feed items ranked by interaction score. For the first version lets make the interaction score simple:
- 'story' or 'story_update' - Interaction score = number of comments for story

- 'story_comment' - Interaction score = number of other comments in that story

- 'status_update', 'circle_add' - Set to 0 since we have no way to measure interaction score here - unless you can think of something

- 'create', 'join', 'plan' for groups - We can do Number of members (same as popularity), but it wouldn't make sense to compare that to num_comments - maybe do some kind of weighting / time cap not sure

- 'ask_question', 'answer_question' - number of answers

- 'confession_create' - number of confession comments

- 'confession_comment_create' - number of surrounding confession comments

All these types are comparative so you can compare a confession interaction score with a story interaction score.
