The new Trending algorithm

I like that the trending list now takes into account how new stories are, and rankes them repectively, but it feels a bit random sometimes with its point distribution.

For example the top 2 stories right now are 1 "momentum" point apart, and released at the same day. with vastly different interaction.
ofcourse i don't know the mechaniks behind that list, and i think that is the point, but ever since this change it sometimes feels a bit random what stories are on top for some amount of time. i think it is better than before, when the top 20 more or less were filled with only old giants.

I have to agree, the trending list seems a bit random. And there's now no quick links to some of the 'mega' stories on the site such as The Rulebook and Sexual Privilege
