As a TechHeat member you get visting history and wont see the frame on outbound links. It's free and requires a Twitter-account.

How does TechHeat work?

We weight tech news-items in social media such as Twitter and Facebook to measure how popular (or hot) they are. The idea is: The more people that talk about a news-item, the hotter it gets.

We're using the Fahrenheit scale to measure the hotness where anything over 32° is popular and it's boiling hot at 212° and above.
