I think it's an interesting idea. I track about 200 feeds, but probably look at only a small percentage of the stories. I definitely would appreciate help in blocking out the least interesting stories.
That said, limiting the free account to only 3 feeds makes it difficult to judge the site's usefulness. I guess that I would probably want to try the site out with at least 50 feeds to see if I wanted to pay for the ability to track even more feeds.
Consider that it may be more valuable to give out fewer invitations but raise with numbers of free feeds per user.
PostRank isn't personalized, which is the big difference with Feedscrub. FS gives you unique results depending on what you like, not just based on how much people are talking about something.
Out of curiosity how many feeds do others subscribe to?
This post (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=248623) suggest you, soundsop, might be on the high end for HN readers--that's a _good thing_, you're our target market. Are there a handful of feeds that have the lowest signal-to-noise ratio? Maybe Feedscrub could help you with those in particular?

if you use google reader you can attain this with the postrank plugin in firefox.
