Getting the Most Prolific Authors in your Feeds
I'm going nuts coming up with new and exciting command-lines to interrogate the common feed store using my new PowerShell provider. Check this one out:
cd feed: dir -rec | where {$_.Author.Length -gt 0} | group Author | sort Count -desc | select -first 20 Name, Count | ft -au
That'll get you the top 20 authors across your entire feed list. Note that this is not looking for the feeds with the most items - it's the authors, so if one author posts to more than one feed then he's counted in both places. That said, in my feeds at work Robert Scoble is winning by a mile:
Name Count ---- ----- Robert Scoble 156 Zonk 63 mabster 60 Michael S. Kaplan 53 daveburke 52 Jason Haley 44 Cyrus Farivar 44 kdawson 42 crucible 42 Mitch Denny 40 Leon Bambrick 36 Paul Miller 33 bsimser 32 GregLow 31 ieblog 31 oldnewthing 31 Long Zheng 31 Darren Murph 30 Carl Franklin 29 Daniel Moth 28

... and if you subbed to techtalkblogs then you could get rid of half that list :)
I still wouldn't make the top 5 though, damn.
