The Blogregator!

Keeping up on your blog reading can be such a hassle. Sure, you can bookmark your favorite RSS feeds till your fingers bleed, or download one of a handful of memory-hogging applications to consolidate them. Or, you can create an account at www.bloglines.com, a Web-based blog aggregator that keeps you up-to-date on all your important online goings on. Just type in a Web address (even portions of sites such as www.nytimes.com, www.slate.com and www.philly.com have feeds) and www.bloglines.com will tell you if there's a feed available. Make the page your homepage so that every time you launch your browser you'll see if there are new postings at Gawker, Slashdot, Boing Boing (or whatever) without spending the time and effort pointing and clicking and pointing some more. Talk about your labor-saving devices.
