Well, as I've gotten more into this blogging thing, I've started to look more at RSS feeds. I'm becoming a junkie. It is just so cool that so many news sites provide these feeds, and now I have to just agregate them all together. I found a few sites on the web that will do it, but the thing that I've liked the best is Planet Planet. I first discovered it reading Planet GNOME.

Basically what it does is download all the feeds and build a webpage. Very simple. But, the nice thing is that it fingers them all together so they make a single integrated blog-like listing. I like this. It works really well for the planet sites, and it works well for how I want to read news.

So, I've now set up my own Metanews site that covers most of the things that I read. I would have to say that I haven't gotten all the kinks out yet, but it is starting to get cool.
