Yahoo! now sorting news by reader ratings

The photos on the Yahoo! News Reader Ratings page are much like those that appear on the most read and most emailed pages: tits, tragedy, cute baby animals, and weird. But the news stories appear to be of much higher quality than those on the popular pages, with only a couple of news-of-the-weird & celebrity stories. It’ll be interesting to see if that trend continues.
