Creating views/webparts that points users to the best content on site

[TEEnne]

I am currently working on how to get the most interesting, relevant and useful information accessible to our SharePoint users. (services 3.0 or MOSS 2007).

I believe this is very important on publishing/news sites, like intranet and internet sites as well as in many other situations.

The users should easily find the best content on a site.

Can anyone please help me or point to resources to how I can make these or any of the following views/webparts:

• Latest comments (5 or 10 comments from forum or blog)
• Latest users (5 or 10 last visitors on site/subsite/page)
• Online now (list of online/active users)
• Most downloaded document (5 or 10)
• Most visited webpages (5 or 10)
• Most popular/visited blog posts (5 or 10)
• Most popular/visited forum posts (5 or 10)
• Most active sites or subsites (5 or 10)
• Most active forums (5 or 10)
• Most active document libraries (5 or 10)
• Most clicked links (from list/blog/web page) (5 or 10)
• Who others are visiting this item/page/document now (5 or 10)
• Most popular search words (5 or 10)
• Most recent search words (5 or 10)
• Related posts, documents, list items etc. (5 or 10)

I would also love to make webparts with:

• 10 most useful/helpful posts (rated by users)
• 10 most useful/helpful documents or document lists
• 10 most useful links..
• And so on…..

But I think this is stretching it… even thou I know there is a rating project on CodePlex..

Does anyone have any insights about this? Please let me know.

there are a few OOB web parts that may do some simple rollups. for instance, there is the Top Sites web part that shows the top sites from the site directory. There is also the site users web part (i haven't used this, but it may be a good starting point).
Also, you may want to using some filters in conjunction with some of your lists. they may be able to help you get some of the content you are looking for.
