I am a keen advocate of using RSS feeds to get your news.
My news monitoring started way back in history when I used to read (and contribute occasionally) to Usenet. I subscribed to a few .nz groups and watched the antics of a few crazies. It regularly got a bit tedious as ‘newbies’ and more experienced users warred away.
When I first met blogs I loved the idea that you could visit a person or a site regularly if you liked the style of writing or work. And then I discovered RSS. Great. Now I could subscribe to my favourite sites using a feed reader or aggregator.
I have tried a lot of readers. Sage (not really a reader, more a Firefox extension), Feed Demon, Bloglines, BlogBridge and more recently I sunscribed to Feedlounge. I quite like Feedlounge. The developers are working really hard and are responsive to what the users want.
Today I decided to subscribe to a few feeds independently of feedlounge and fired up a download of BlogBridge. I got a shock. It’s a rapidly moving product. It’s faster than Feedlounge and it some of the other advantages might mean that I’ll be going back to it.
Take a look at BlogBridge and some of the cool new features that they are woring with. Or compare the features that all of the aggregators offer.

Ahh Nix .. am made mute by your restless enthusiasm for new and better input …
I am currently trying to block out any new thinking at all … Have even considered “brain stapling” to give my mind a break from that constant aggregator induced Mrs Zambesi’s conversational hum of new ideas
