BlogLines
Bloglines is a free service that makes it easy to keep up with your favorite blogs and newsfeeds. With Bloglines, you can subscribe to the RSS feeds of your favorite blogs, and Bloglines will monitor updates to those sites. You can read the latest entries easily within Bloglines.
I loved this site. Its a great service that has the advantage of not sucking up local resources, and more importantly, is outside my control in terms of news updates. I don’t have to keep clicking the refresh button looking for another seed of info if I have control of my own aggregator, so it’s much better to let someone do the refreshing for me. Seriously.Unlike other aggregators which require you to download and install software, Bloglines runs on their own servers and requires no installation. And since my Bloglines account is accessible through a web browser, I can access my account from any Internet-connected machine.
So no hopping over from one blog site to another now, when you can read all the feeds at one place. There is another option of sharing your feeds, so that people know what you read. Besides this, another good feature is the ability to send the feed as email; so the next time you read anything interesting, you can just click on email it and share it with your friends.
The site design needs a little fine tuning, as the three frame model seems primitive. Besides this, people are also advicing them about their revenue models. These issues are just timely, and will be taken care of as Bloglines grows. A great service indeed. Check it out!!
