It is an interesting idea, but how much do people value serendipity? And in some contexts won't it mean that you get pointed towards the least interesting rather than the most interesting? There must be contexts where this would not matter, but its a question of thinking of them! Perhaps where you know that all the entries are of a certain standard it would be worth knowing which have been least looked at or where the most popular ones are likely for that reason to be less interesting. One possible example - in a playlist of Michael Jackson songs you might well be interesting in seeing which ones you are least likely to have heard over the last week.
