Here's a bookmarklet, based on DeliciousSort, that will sort del.icio.us/popular not just by total number of posts, but by the ratio of recent to total posts. It's trying to automate what I think I do manually, which is to skip the popular items that have been around for a while and only show the new ones.

Works fine in Firefox, but not in Safari (because of the XPath bits, perhaps).
Update: Also looks good with del.icio.us/popular's new sparklines.
Update II: Sparklines have gone, but the /popular page is now sorted this way by default, so there's no need for the bookmarklet.

All fields are optional, email address will not be shown; no HTML, URLs are automatically hyperlinked.
That's very clever.
Doesn't appear to work in IE either, though I'm not sure if it's intended to. That's all I can use at work, though.
It's probably Firefox-specific then: the original script was for the Greasemonkey extension.
Looks interesting, but I'm not sure how to use it. Can you give me a little "How to"?
Michael: as it says in the post, this doesn't do anything any more.
