So I can tell how I'm doing relative to others in my space and who is interacting with those sites.

Provide analytics for each author on the blog by segmenting on blog posts, amount of generated engagement and overall author trends.

This would help writers optimize their social media strategy and track performance of their posts.

In analyze view I'd like to filter (and sort) the list of stories in my feed. Things I'd like to filter on:

1. Engagement Points threshold
2. PostRank
3. Page Views
4. Time on Page
5. Author
6. Keywords
7. Date Range

With the reduced set of posts I'd like to sort them by any heading in the list.

E.g. pages in WordPress -- lot of content is stored there, possible to comment, etc.

Notify me of unusual activity on any of my posts across all the social networks. For example, if a story breaks on twitter, let me know.

Enable me to sort my blog's content by topics I write about or tags I attach to my posts. Enable me to compare the performance of these related posts against each other over time.

It would be incredible to see the granularity of data that optimizer provides with their overlay of analytics.

Given my current performance on social sites such as Digg, Reddit, Twitter, and others, how can I improve my reach and get more engagement and pageviews?

PostRank has a lot of insights into the trending, and what works for each network. A profile for each social network which discusses: type of people who are attracted, the voting mechanism, and good strategy for engaging with that audience would be helpful to many publishers who are just getting started or looking to grow their audience.

Analyze where my engagement is being generated, compare to competition and provide actionable insights into how I can improve, or where I should engage to drive more engagement and traffic to my site.

Synch reader interactions with a CRM system so I can incorporate the story interactions where I need them.
