Waterloo-based AideRSS today launched a significantly enhanced version of PostRank.com (we covered the initial launch of PostRank back in July '08 over here). The AideRSS service has also been re-branded under PostRank. Some of the new features include:

Keyword filtering (eg - only display stories with keyword 'iPhone')
Custom content channels (create channels of feeds on similar topics)
Engagement analysis in action (a discovery engine for finding great new sites).
Full API access, both on the site and right from within Firefox through an extension. For eg, it can enable you to view the top posts of a site at a glance.

Ilya Grigorik, AideRSS' Co-founder and Chief Architect, said the following in a brief conversation: "I'm really excited about all the new features, as I think it takes RSS customization to the next level." Check out the following demo video, and you just might agree with him :)
