I've been a fan of RSS for quite a while now, I think that it is a wonderful way to read news. The idea of creating a shorthand format, that people can poll and get updates, just makes an increadible amount of sense for everyone. Fueled by blogs, it has really taken off. I don't see it as a bad thing.

The biggest thing that I've been using RSS for is my Metanews site. Although, now my hosting service is complaining about the CPU load it causes (2 minutes a run -- which is understandable). I need a new way to read RSS. I like the way that Planet Planet puts the whole list of items in a single list sorted by date. It seems that every other RSS tool wants to group the entries by blog -- I hate that!.

To the point! I've established some cool RSS feeds on Technorati that I thought other people might find useful:
